Project information
The £145 million Stockport Exchange development is being delivered in partnership with Muse Developments.
Phases 1, 2, 3 and 4 are already complete. Planning permission has been granted for phase 5, which will see 60,000 square feet of office space created with ground floor opportunities available for shops, cafes, bars or restaurants. Phases 6, 7 and 8 have also been granted outline planning permission for office space, plus the potential option of residential properties.
The transformation is stunning. Stockport Exchange has been described by some as "Stockport's latest wow spot" and others as "Stockport's Spinningfields."
Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) 2025
In order to deliver the Stockport Exchange project it has been necessary for Stockport Council to make a Compulsory Purchase Order which is to be submitted to the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government for confirmation. For more information and to view the Order and related documents visit our document page.
If you want to object to the Order please follow the instructions in the Notice of Making.
The Order will be submitted to the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government for confirmation. If objections to the order are made, the Secretary of State may decide to hold a public inquiry. The details of this would be provided at the relevant time.
Phase 4 (completed 2023)
Phase 4 of Stockport Exchange saw a 64,000 square foot office building created, plus a 399-space multi-storey car park with a ‘living wall’.
Work began in April 2022 and was completed in December 2023.
Phase 3 (completed 2020)
Phase 3 saw the completion of 2 Stockport Exchange, a 60,000 square foot, 6-storey Grade A office building developed next to existing office 1 Stockport Exchange.
Work on the office building began in November 2018 and was completed in Spring 2020.
Phase 2 (completed 2016)
Work on phase 2 of Stockport Exchange began in September 2015 and was completed in late 2016.
The completion of works was quickly followed by the opening of Holiday Inn Express in December 2016. The 115-bed hotel provides an ideal place for people to stay, whether in Stockport for work or pleasure. Since opening, the hotel has proven very popular with high visitor levels and great reviews online.
Only 6 months after work on the office was completed, the office building was fully let. This proves the demand for Grade A office space in Stockport. More companies are looking into the north-west's best and most popular business locations.
Phase 1 (completed 2014)
Phase 1 of Stockport Exchange created a new 1,000 multi-storey car park, operated by NCP. This has provided onsite parking for businesses.
There's also a dedicated cycle centre with lockers and changing rooms. Highway and pedestrian access improvements are now completed.
You can find information on the car park's tariffs on the NCP website.
