The Stockport Exchange will deliver up to 375,000 sq ft of office space and 28,000 sq ft of commercial floor space.

It is being undertaken in partnership with Stockport Council.

Wes Erlam, Development Director at Muse, said: "Appointing a contractor and starting on site for the second phase of Stockport Exchange means we're one step closer to realising this major new mixed-use development for Stockport. It will build on the success of the first phase and deliver a brand new hotel and much-needed, Grade A office accommodation at an excellent location in the town centre."

John Wilson, managing director of Eric Wright Construction, added: "We are delighted to have been appointed to this project and to be working with Muse Developments again, a company which we have worked with previously to deliver award-winning schemes."

Completion of the office and hotel is expected in autumn 2016.

The first phase of the scheme, a 1,000 space multi-storey car park, was completed last year.
