Plans include to build up to 1 million sq ft of office space and develop approximately 500 apartments on the site as 'build-to-let' properties.
The development will form the foundation of Patrizias’s plans for a dedicated Private Rental Sector (PRS) fund.
James Muir, Managing Director of Patrizia UK said: "With this investment, our property assets under management in the UK now amount to more than a billion pounds.
"Driven by attractive economic and demographic fundamentals in Manchester, and the growing trend for urbanisation, we are anticipating strong demand for this centrally located, high-quality accommodation which will be tailored to the private rental sector."
