Manchester is full of amazing developments right now, and one thing stands out: the growing focus on public realm. It’s not just about stunning architecture or modern interiors anymore—it’s about the spaces between buildings that make the difference. Take Spinningfields: its mix of green spaces, outdoor seating, and events transforms it into more than just an office district. Employees can step out, recharge, and connect—all of which boosts well-being and creativity. Over at MediaCity, the waterway views, green spaces, and open plazas make it a destination people genuinely enjoy working in. Whether it’s grabbing a coffee by the water or attending an outdoor event, it’s a perfect example of how public realm creates vibrant, people-first environments that energise employees and attract talent. And then there’s Circle Square: with Symphony Park at its heart, it’s a great example of integrating nature into the city. Outdoor lunches, fresh air breaks, or even walking meetings—it all adds up to happier, healthier teams. The benefits? Companies attract and keep top talent who want to work in environments that prioritise well-being. Plus, workspaces surrounded by accessible, green spaces show your commitment to people—not just productivity. As Manchester continues to grow, these open, community-focused spaces are becoming a defining feature of developments that stand out and succeed. #ManchesterDevelopments #PublicRealm #MediaCity #CloserToNature #WorkplaceWellbeing #TalentAttraction
