Located in the heart of Manchester city centre, this lower-ground and basement space within The Grand offers rare volumetric commercial space with immediate access to Piccadilly transport and the city’s new leisure district. The two separate entrances enable dual occupancy or distinct customer and service flows, while an adjacent 712-space car park supports high visitor numbers.
The accommodation features double-height ceilings, strong load-bearing floors and several non-load-bearing internal walls—giving genuine flexibility for retail, leisure, office, storage or bespoke hospitality fit-outs. Existing A3 consent is in place and Manchester City Council has indicated openness to alternative uses subject to planning, making the unit attractive to investors or operators seeking a city-centre base.
Buyers should note this is a Grade II listed property: external and certain internal works will require listed-building consent and can restrict alterations. The property is offered as a leasehold and will need a buyer comfortable managing listed-building consent processes and potential refurbishment costs to realise value.
Set in a multicultural, student-rich neighbourhood with excellent broadband and mobile coverage, the site benefits from very low crime and no flooding risk. The property’s size and configuration present a high-potential, but materially constrained, redevelopment opportunity for experienced investors or operators.
