Key findings

14,480 residential units under construction during 2018 is double than that under construction during 2016 (6,963 units)

Anticipated level of residential delivery over the next 3 years is due to exceed the previous 10 years combined.

Significant investment in the Corridor Manchester has resulted in over 1.1m sq ft of education and research space under construction.

31 schemes completed during 2018, comprising 16 residential developments, 6 offices, 5 hotels, 2 education facilities, 1 dining venue, and 1 multi-storey car park.

The total number of schemes under construction increased by 34 per cent compared to 2017.

85 per cent of office space under construction is new build grade A space.

Over 25 per cent of office space under construction is pre-let, a significant step up from 2017 (10 per cent)

For the third consecutive year, the residential sector has been the main driver of the record levels of development activity in Manchester, clearly evidenced by the large number of cranes visible on the city’s skyline. 48 residential schemes were on site in 2018, up from 41 in 2017, and these are set to deliver an impressive 14,480 units. 3,345 more units are under construction compared to the same time last year and the projected delivery over the next three years is greater than the total number of residential units delivered between 2007 and 2018.

Based on 2017’s construction figures, it was reasonable to assume that new construction starts and the growth in this sector may have been subdued in 2018. This expectation was compounded by an anticipated period of economic and political uncertainty due to Brexit. Crane Survey 2019 data evidences ongoing investment in the residential market, with 5,733 units commencing construction on 23 new sites in 2018.

New starts during 2018 included:

• Embankment West , Select Property Group (503 units) • Mount Yard, FEC (136 units) • Elizabeth Tower at Crown Street, Renaker (664 units) • Crusader Mill, Capital and Central (201).

Density and scale continue to typify residential construction activity. Large schemes form the majority of the construction pipeline with 17 schemes set to deliver more than 350 units each. The pattern of tall buildings being delivered around the inner ring road is now taking shape and making a significant impact on the skyline, with nine schemes of over 25 storeys at various stages of construction.

2018 was also a landmark year for completions in the residential sector. In total, 2,569 units completed, the highest level since 2006 and 1,317 units more than in 2017. These figures were bolstered by the completion of several build-to-rent schemes in Ancoats and New Islington, including Manchester Life’s Smith’s Yard and Sawmill Court, Mulbury The Astley. A further five schemes were completed in Salford, including Slate Yard Wharf and Middlewood Locks.

Salford city centre is the location of a cluster of residential developments with 1,299 units delivered and seven new starts in 2018. In total, 5,963 units are under construction, meaning that Salford has overtaken neighbouring areas as a key residential growth area and recorded the highest level of completions in 2018. The Chapel Street corridor has been a major contributor, with schemes such as Chapel Wharf and The Crescent under construction. The Salford University campus masterplan, plus further phases of development at Greengate, mean that this area has significant further potential, supported by improved connectivity with Manchester City Centre.

Looking ahead, completions in 2019 are projected to exceed 5,500 units before rising above 7,500 in 2020: this will have a significant impact on the residential population in the city centre. Assuming two residents per unit, based on residential delivery from January 2016 to December 2018, the population within the study area has already increased by 12,000 and is set to increase by a further 28,400 by the end of 2021 and therefore in excess of 100,000. This population growth will require services and amenities to support it, some of which are already planned as part of emerging neighbourhoods, such as new education and health facilities at Great Jackson Street, and a new park at the heart of the Mayfield masterplan.

Two-bedroom units constitute 58 per cent of the units under construction to 2021, with apartments making up the entire market save for ground floor townhouses and schemes too small for our survey. Conscious of the perceived uniformity of accommodation options in the city, a fact demonstrated by the limited number of families in the city – just over 100 children lived in the Deansgate and Piccadilly wards in 2016, emerging regeneration areas are seeking to deliver more diversity in terms of the types of units and tenures. For example, the Northern Gateway and the Great Ducie Street Framework areas will include lower density blocks and family housing, as well as high quality public realm, providing another option for those looking to remain in the city. This traditional family housing is likely to be delivered in areas outside the current Crane Survey boundary, such as Northern Gateway and East Manchester.

Looking at rental values of property, the average price for a two-bedroom property in March 2016 was £945 per month (p/m) and £688 p/m outside the city centre. At the end of 2018, average values were £981 p/m in Manchester City Centre and £733 p/m

elsewhere, representing a 3.8 per cent increase in the city centre and 6.5 per cent elsewhere over the two-year period. There are higher value sub-areas within the city centre, with Deansgate and Spinningfields averaging £1,339 p/m for a two-bedroom property, and New Islington at the lower end of the scale averaging £917 p/m.2

Considering affordability, the average salary in the city centre is £28,558.3 Assuming a target average spend of 30 per cent of gross income on rent, in line with Manchester City Council’s Affordability Framework, this equates to an affordable rental value of £713.5 p/m per person. However, most two-bedroom apartments are shared between couples or a pair of young professionals, and this increases the affordability of even the higher end of the rental market for this particular demographic.

The delivery of residential properties in the city is now coming broadly into line with the average target specified in Manchester’s Core Strategy (2012) and is beginning to catch up with successive years of undersupply against targets between 2009 and 2017. The appetite for city centre residential development is unlikely to waiver; with the city centre identified to provide a further 10,000 new units to contribute toward the 201,000 net additional dwellings required across GM between 2018 and 2037 identified by the draft Greater Manchester Spatial Framework (GMSF)4.

There are approximately 14,600 units with planning permission within our survey area at present and moving forward, we may see schemes move away from a focus on build-to-rent apartments for sharers to provide co-living options or a variety of apartment typologies to appeal to different demographics, including down sizers. There is clearly more capacity for growth based on the number of extant permissions, but how they physically manifest themselves beyond 2021 is likely to change and further diversify the rental market.

2017

1.5m sq ft

2018

2.1m sq ft

With 2,070,897 sq ft of floorspace under construction across 13 schemes, 2018 was a busy year for Manchester’s office sector. The amount of floorspace under construction is 37 per cent up on 2017 activity and significantly more than the pipeline of 1.5m sq ft per annum between 2015 to 2017. The increase in volume under construction is also due to three years of strong activity in the sector, resulting in the continued delivery of schemes that commenced back in 2016 and 2017. This is reflected in the relatively low completion figure of 450,000 sq ft delivered during 2018.

Alongside a strong year for the construction pipeline, the city experienced a flurry of high profile deals and occupier announcements both in identified regeneration areas and the city core. This is testament to the city’s resilience at a time of broader economic and political uncertainty. Major deals included HPE at Circle Square, Booking.inc and The Farm at St John’s, WeWork at Dalton Place, HMRC at 3 New Bailey, and Amazon at Hanover House. To continue to attract commercial investment, create new jobs and retain talent, the supply of Grade A floorspace needs to be maintained, along with the strong delivery of residential units in the city.

Annual gross value added (GVA) for the city of Manchester increased between 2011 to 2017 from £14.5bn to £19.5bn due mainly to the drive in business services operating in the city, GVA for the city centre is now 29.5 per cent of the total for the Greater Manchester area. This will continue to increase as Manchester and Salford generate further demand for prime Grade A office floorspace.

New starts made a large contribution to the total floorspace under construction, with ten new office schemes starting on site in 2018 due to deliver 1,541,797 sq ft. These are spread across the city, with four in the city core, three in Salford, plus the Manchester Goods Yard in St. John’s. This new space is a result of strong pre-let activity and long-term strategic regeneration plans. In addition, three further schemes (Old Granada Studios, Bonded Warehouse and ABC) are being delivered at St. John’s by Allied London and are part of larger mixed-use schemes that also include studio space for the creative, digital and media industry as part of the Enterprise City initiative.

Whilst the number of new starts was lower than in 2017, the scale and quantum of new commercial office development increased, both in terms of height and scale of floorplates, reflecting an appetite in the market for new builds over refurbishments. Other new starts include:

• No.1 and No. 2 Circle Square: the first commercial blocks of this major regeneration site

• Brazennose House: major development due to deliver part of the Lincoln Square masterplan

• Two New Bailey: office block delivering Grade A space as part of New Bailey in Salford.

All seven of the office schemes that completed in 2018 were refurbishments of existing buildings. In 2017, 28 per cent of the office floorspace under construction was to refurbishment schemes. In 2018 this figure dropped to fifteen per cent, with only one new office refurbishment scheme under construction as more new build schemes are brought forward. Despite this, refurbishments remain an attractive choice for operators, demonstrated by Amazon’s decision to take 90,000 sq ft of space in the refurbished Hanover House.

Hanover House is an important part of the £800m NOMA development. Growth in the northern quadrant of the city centre will start to spread the spatial distribution of Grade A office accommodation across the city, helping to create a competitive destination for inward investment, retail and leisure. It will also act as a catalyst for the development of areas for the next wave of residential growth in New Cross, Northern Gateway and Great Ducie Street.

Positivity continues outside of the Survey area: The Hut Group (THG) committed to the delivery of the first phase of a new one million sq ft campus as part of Airport City, which is designated as a key employment area for Manchester. Major office deals reported in 2018 were by creative, media and tech sector occupiers, taking over the lead role from financial and legal service occupiers who were previously the sector driving office development in the city. There are now 82,300 creative sector jobs based in the Greater Manchester area5.

This change demonstrates the diversification of the job market in the city, the increasing attractiveness of Manchester as a location for this sector, and the long-term efforts that have been made by Manchester City Council to promote economic growth and retain talent. This is likely to intensify as St. John’s and the Enterprise City initiative continue to progress over the next five years, providing a range of smaller SME-type occupancies to larger more conventional floorplates for established occupants, and revisiting some parts of the masterplan to deliver additional commercial space to meet

demand. With the change of occupier market, the product has also changed to include quirky fit-outs with an emphasis on more and better breakout spaces to improve collaborative working and moving away from the more corporate offering at Spinningfields.

Although current data on the office market is encouraging, the pace of Brexit negotiations is weighing heavily on business sentiment. According to Deloitte’s latest CFO Survey6, the mood among Chief Financial Officers became more pessimistic about the long term impact of the UK leaving the EU, ranking it as the biggest threat to business in the coming year. Confidence among CFOs has, in fact, fallen to the lowest levels in two years, with only 12 per cent saying that now is a good time to take risk.

To put the sentiment about Brexit into context, 54 of the FTSE 100 companies have cited Brexit as their principal risk or the cause of broader risk around market and economic uncertainty. Only one identified climate change as their principal risk. Deloitte’s Annual Report Insights 20187 shows how the largest businesses are managing the challenges they are currently faced with.

Nonetheless, based on the pipeline supply under construction and scale of deals in 2018, Manchester has so far remained resilient despite Brexit uncertainty. This is helped by the growth of tech businesses in the regional centre. The efforts to position the city as a go-to location for growth sector occupiers are now being realised, and further high profile new office starts are anticipated in 2019 in areas such as Circle Square, NOMA and St John’s.

3. Student accommodation, education and researchStudent accommodationFollowing limited construction activity in 2017 after the completion of Vita’s second Manchester site at Circle Square, three new purpose-built student accommodation schemes commenced in 2018. Vita has started on their second Circle Square site; and work on two tall buildings have commenced, Unite Student’s New Wakefield scheme and Downing Student’s River Street scheme. Together these schemes will deliver 1,794 new bedspaces.

While these purpose built student accommodation products will target different price points, they respond to the demands of Generation Z students for high quality, well-managed accommodation in central locations, requirements which are entirely consistent with the build-to-rent model designed for life post-graduation.

The University of Manchester has the highest percentage of international students in the UK (25 per cent), and as many as 180 nationalities are represented on campus. These students tend to seek out higher value, catered facilities with high-end amenities in the city centre close to campus, which has further driven the demand for this type of offering from Vita and Downing.

With 100,000 students attending university in the region, Greater Manchester has one of the largest concentrations of students in Europe and provides the city with an enormous supply of new graduates each year across a wide range of subjects who can contribute to future economic growth. Supply of high quality accommodation is an important factor that continues to attract students to the city.

Education and research The profile and status of its higher education institutions positions Manchester as a magnet for talent. Both Manchester Metropolitan University and the University of Manchester continue to invest in campus improvements and new facilities.

The collective investment by Manchester Metropolitan University, the University of Manchester and associated research and development schemes has resulted in an outstanding year for Corridor Manchester. Two new schemes started in 2018, with 1,134,458 sq ft of floorspace currently under construction. This is testament to the work that has been carried out over the past ten years to position Oxford Road Corridor as the centre of Manchester’s knowledge economy.

On the University of Manchester campus, the Henry Royce Institute has now commenced construction. ‘The Royce’ will house state-of-the-art equipment and facilities that will enable advances across a wide range of areas, including 3D printing of biomedical materials, and self-heating coatings for buildings. Close by, work on the mammoth Manchester Engineering Campus Development continues apace and is due to be delivered by the end of 2021. This will provide another world-leading research and state of the art education facility.

Other campus improvements include the completion of two Manchester Business School projects and University Green, providing 11 new retail units at the heart of the campus. Significant projects have taken place to continue the enhancement of Oxford Road Corridor for all users. These include public realm improvements at Brunswick Park and completion of the Oxford Road Corridor Bus Priority Scheme which has also improved the Oxford Road campus for pedestrians and cyclists.

The Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre (GEIC) was delivered in 2018 and provides space and facilities focused on improving the commercial prospects of Graphene and drive UK innovation in materials technology.

Investment in GEIC and the Henry Royce Institute has provided physical assets contributing to the vision of Graphene City® – a community of over 200 leading 2D materials scientists and engineers that will itself become an international research and development centre. This will focus attention on attracting investment and innovators from around the globe and further cementing Corridor Manchester as an international location for research, innovation and collaboration.

At Manchester Metropolitan University, work started in 2018 on a new Arts and Media Facility to replace the Mabel Tylecote building, which is due to open in 2020. In December 2018, planning permission was approved for the £35m School of Digital Arts (SODA). Programmed for delivery in 2021, this new building will provide learning and training facilities that will help to meet the demand in the city for skills from tech and creative sector businesses, 69 per cent of which say they are struggling to recruit highly-skilled workers across the digital, media and creative industries.8

Further education also has a role to play in the success of a city by attracting and retaining talent, and in particular to develop the skills of young people in the region. Manchester College, recognising the opportunity provided by the consolidation of its campuses and location in the vicinity of future employers for its students, is searching for a city centre site. This should have benefits for not only immediate locality of the final site but also the city as a whole.

With 100,000 students attending university in the region, Greater Manchester has one of the largest concentrations of students in Europe and an enormous supply of new graduates across a wide range of subjects each year who can contribute to future economic growth. Supply of high quality accommodation is an important factor that continues to attract students to the city.

Compared to 2018 figures, this is an uplift of over 900 bedspaces, and 1,300 more than the average annual construction rate since 2008. The pipeline remains strong moving into 2019 with new starts anticipated including the new QBIC hotel at John Dalton House.

In total nine new hotels are under construction: four of these schemes are within the city core, two are located within NOMA and the Northern Gateway and one within the Southern Arc. A further two schemes are still under construction that commenced development during the course of 2017 and are due to complete in 2019, taking the total number of rooms in the city centre to over 10,000.

840 new bedspaces were completed in 2018 across five schemes. This is the highest number of rooms delivered on record and demonstrates the capacity and appetite for new hotels in the city. The significant step-up in delivery rates reflects the maturing tourism sector in Manchester. The majority of hotels in the city are classed as 4-star (3,800 rooms), and 3,100 are 3-star. Several new hotel brands now operate in the city, expanding the city centre’s hotel portfolio to include Hotel Indigo, AC Marriott, Crown Plaza and Stalybridge Suites

This growth is in part due to the strength of the business visitor economy, with Manchester’s Convention Bureau positioning the city as a world-leading conference destination. In 2017/18, 29 conferences took place (of which 20 were international) worth an estimated £26.7m for the local economy9. Additionally, the number of passengers arriving in Manchester from the current top 20 global business destinations has gone up from 200,000 in June 2017 to 350,000 in June 2018, representing an additional 1.8m journeys per annum.

Manchester Airport has also added new weekly routes, with new direct services among others to Mumbai, Tel Aviv, Malaysia and Los Angeles. International connectivity will be further bolstered by the opening of the first new passenger pier in spring 2019, one of the first major infrastructure phases to be delivered as part of Manchester Airport’s £1bn transformation programme.

2019 is likely to be a strong year for tourism in the city given the addition of new air routes, a high profile conference calendar, plus the Manchester International Festival taking place in July, bringing with it international attention to the city’s cultural scene. This year may also see the commencement of work on the Factory project, which will provide a world-class cultural venue and a permanent home for the festival in the new St John’s quarter.

Looking ahead, there is a sense of optimism in the region about tourism, as we can expect to see the start of the expansion at three Manchester museums in 2020 and the phased opening of RHS Garden Bridgewater, Europe’s largest garden project. There remains a strong pipeline for hotels, with many further new entrants to the market now in possession of planning permission for major developments.

Retail and leisure The Green at Circle Square, the only new leisure scheme that started in 2018, will provide retail and leisure use as well as an exhibition and event space to support the wider office, student accommodation and hotel development being delivered or planned as part of the Circle Square masterplan.

There are no standalone retail schemes in construction; however, continuing the trend reported last year, there remains a consistent level of retail and leisure floorspace under construction, with 310,470 sq ft in 2018 compared to 316,661 sq ft in 2017. This space will be delivered as part of office and residential schemes and will provide retail units and leisure space designed to service a new population. This type of use is an essential component of high density residential neighbourhoods in the city and an important part of placemaking in commercial and mixed use schemes. This has been the case in Ancoats and New Islington, where new food and beverage openings and announcements have taken place in 2018, predominantly by independents. This has established the area as a destination in its own right, with residential delivery in this area reaching its highest level to date and Ancoats being named by Timeout in 2018 as the 13th ‘coolest district in the world’.

Across Manchester City Centre, 2018 saw a raft of new restaurant openings from established London brands and Manchester-based independents, including The Ivy, Mana, Tast and Dishoom.

Although the market is demonstrating strength in terms of new hotels, restaurants and leisure openings, levels of disposable income nationally fell by eight per cent one quarter, which is the sharpest drop since the Deloitte Consumer Tracker started in 2011. This is linked to an unexpected rise in the rate of inflation in August and real wage growth remaining modest by historical standards. Alongside this, announcements of retail and leisure closures were frequent throughout 2018 as the sector underwent structural change as a result of changing spending habits.

In spite of weaker consumer sentiment across the UK, Manchester’s food and beverage independents have used this opportunity to take advantage of the demand for quality and experience. New businesses have positioned themselves in central locations and new neighbourhoods, alongside Manchester’s strong creative and digital sector, forming an integral part of Manchester’s attractive lifestyle offer.

Some of Manchester’s most complex and large-scale development sites are acting as temporary leisure destinations as part of branding and placemaking programmes. Mayfield continues to position itself as an evening and weekend venue, while St John’s and NOMA have hosted events over several years, helping to embed these areas in the fabric of the city. The rise of meanwhile uses, the expansion of independents in the face of general consumer trends, and the growth of residential are all essential for ensuring that Manchester continues to attract and retain young people, who will be key to future economic growth.
