Future Developments on the Oxford Road Corridor

In 2018, Manchester City Council adopted a Strategic Spatial Framework for the Oxford Road Corridor, which guides future development. Here is a selection of upcoming projects from across Manchester’s thriving Knowledge Quarter.

Development within Oxford Road Corridor is guided by its Strategic Spatial Framework and several site-specific Strategic Regeneration Frameworks. These frameworks maintain the area’s unique innovation ecosystem and allow the right development to be brought forward at pace and scale.
