NOMA, short for North Manchester, is a transformative 20-acre regeneration project located just steps from the vibrant Northern Quarter. Backed by £800 million in investment, this pioneering development is reshaping the northern edge of Manchester city centre into a dynamic district for business, living, and leisure. Designed to attract a diverse mix of residents—from young professionals and digital creatives to families and entrepreneurs—NOMA represents a bold vision for the future of urban life.
At full build-out, NOMA will deliver approximately 2.2 million sq ft of Grade A office space, 1 million sq ft of residential property, and 200,000 sq ft each for retail, hospitality, and hotel use. Its masterplan blends cutting-edge architecture with the area’s rich industrial heritage, aiming to create a walkable, bike-friendly environment where people can live, work, and socialise—all within a 15-minute radius.
NOMA’s impact on the local economy is significant. It contributes around £380 million annually to Manchester’s economic output, supports over 5,400 full-time jobs, and brings in £4 million in business rates each year. Importantly, this growth is locally anchored: 70% of construction spending has remained within Greater Manchester, with most site-based jobs filled by local residents.
Residential life is already taking shape, particularly with developments like Angel Gardens—a striking 36-storey build-to-rent tower offering 466 high-spec apartments. Designed with lifestyle and community in mind, the building features co-working areas, rooftop terraces, a private cinema, and wellness amenities. As NOMA continues to expand, additional housing and community-focused spaces will further establish it as a fully integrated, mixed-use neighbourhood.
