Plans Revealed for Next Phase of Stockport Exchange Development

Plans have been revealed for phase two of the £145m Stockport Exchange development.

A new 60,000 sq, six-storey office is set to be built on the site adjacent to the town's train station. The new building will also include space for retail or commercial units on the ground floor.

The application has been submitted by developer Muse, and it is hoped construction will begin in summer this year, with completion expected in spring 2020.

Developers say that once the project is complete, it will bring around 350 new jobs to the area, on top of the roughly 300 new positions already created by phase one.

The new phase will be built next to the One Stockport Exchange office, which was completed in December 2016 and was fully let within six months.

Councillor Kate Butler, cabinet member for economy and regeneration, said:

"Stockport is amongst the best-placed locations in the region for businesses to locate and grow – with unmatched links to London, Manchester and the motorway network.

 "This is why so many businesses are choosing Stockport as a base, and why Stockport Exchange first phases have proven so successful.

"To build on this, we've given the green light to next phase of the development. This will continue to further set Stockport apart, creating many new jobs and opportunities from which local people and companies can benefit."
