Manchester saw an incredible total of \u00a31.2bn invested in commercial property in 2015, a 3% increase on the \u00a3992m recorded in 2014.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to research recently published by CoStar Group, Britain\u2019s leading commercial property information provider a total of \u00a367.5bn was invested in UK commercial real estate in 2015, making it the second strongest year on record, 46% above the 10-year average.<\/p>\n

Marianne Fitzpatrick, Real Estate Analyst, CoStar, said: “Manchester is now leading the way for office investment<\/a> in the ‘Big Six\u2019 regional UK cities, accounting for over a third of total expenditure into the office market in 2015.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Office sales accounted for a whopping 97 per cent of total investment volumes, as \u00a31.12 billion was invested in 46 deals.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cManchester is at the centre of the Government\u2019s Northern Powerhouse initiative and was first to receive ‘City Deal\u2019 funding and regional devolution.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Massive infrastructure improvements, such as the Metrolink tramline and airport expansions, have played a significant part in attracting investment into the city alongside the desire of international investors seeking deals outside of London.\u201d<\/p>\n

The top deals of 2015 include Legal & General\u2019s acquisition of a 50% stake in MediaCityUK, Singaporean REIT<\/a> Mapletree\u2019s purchase of 3 Hardman Street for \u00a3100m, Deutsche Asset & Wealth\u2019s forward funding of 2 St Peter\u2019s Square for \u00a3100m and M&G\u2019s purchase of 3 Hardman Square in Spinningfields at a 5.79% yield.<\/p>\n

Marianne added: \u201cThe Big Six regional cities are attracting more and more attention, suggesting that investors have the money to spend and are seeing value outside of Central London.\u201d<\/p>\n

“The political will behind regional devolution has given the regions an additional shot in the arm as \u00a33.2bn, a rise of 16 per cent year on year, has been invested in the \u2018Big Six\u2019 office market in the last 12 months.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cManchester offices are firmly leading the way for Big Six office investment, and with the city as the nucleus of the Northern Powerhouse initiative, Manchester commercial property should continue to attract investment.\u201d<\/p>\n
