Work set to start on latest phase at Stockport Exchange

Partners Stockport Council and Muse Developments, have begun to bring forward the latest phase of development at Stockport Exchange, which is said to be one of Greater Manchester’s most connected business hubs.

Following the scheme’s approval by council planners in late 2021, the partners have appointed Galliford Try as the contractor to deliver the third steel-framed office building, which will sit adjacent to sister buildings, 1 and 2 Stockport Exchange and the 399-space multi-storey car park.

Tom Webber, Senior Development Surveyor at Muse, said: “As a business, we’re proud to reach a point in the Stockport Exchange story where we’re seeing our collective vision for a diverse business community coming to life, with a number of high-profile businesses calling the scheme home.

“Over the coming months, the place will be a hive of activity as we deliver two further buildings within the masterplan, as we continue to deliver catalytic regeneration with our progressive partner in Stockport Council that drives growth and prosperity to benefit the proud people of Stockport, while promoting wellbeing, sustainability and active travel to create a place fit for the future.”

Leader of Stockport Council, Cllr Elise Wilson, said: “I am delighted that work on the next phase of Stockport Exchange has begun on site. Stockport Exchange has been a game-changer for our town, and this next phase is a testament not just to the success of the development but also the demand from businesses for good quality offices in a prime location.

“This announcement shows how ambitious we are for Stockport! It comes at the same time as we progress other vital projects, like our new transport hub, Weir Mill and continue to invest significantly to improve Merseway and the Underbanks, which will benefit the whole of the borough to make Stockport a better place for us all.”
