The team which is spread over two locations will come together at a new building at Two New Bailey Square.
The English Cities Fund, a joint venture between Muse Developments, Legal & General and Homes England, is delivering the New Bailey scheme, which will see a transformational new business district created in Salford.
BLM's 645 Manchester based staff will move into a 188,500 sq ft office building in New Bailey by early 2021.
Two New Bailey Square is situated opposite Spinningfields, well connected to Greater Manchester's rail network and within a short walk of the city centre's Metrolink. BLM will take up to 70,782 sq ft.
BLM senior partner, Matthew Harrington, said: "We have been considering our requirements in relation to premises to suit our future needs in Manchester for some time. This is not just about uniting our Manchester based colleagues, it's also important for the future of our business as we continue to develop our presence in the North, which is further enhanced by having offices in Leeds and Liverpool.

"The new office will be a contemporary space and will be very similar to the open plan environment we have created elsewhere, for example in Plantation Place and most recently in Birmingham. We will also be rolling out our paperless project in Manchester shortly. In a drive to increase technology adoption across the business, we've invested in technology which will make sharing information easier. Importantly, this technology, along with our existing collaboration software, will empower our Manchester team to work in a more agile way."
Phil Mayall, regional director at The English Cities Fund, added: "It's fantastic that the New Bailey scheme is continuing its momentum in attracting businesses of the highest calibre and we look forward to welcoming BLM when the scheme completes.
"Two New Bailey Square is a really exciting part of the wider New Bailey development, which has completely transformed the business offering in Salford, Greater Manchester. There is a real focus on wellbeing and new ways of working at Two New Bailey Square, with its outdoor terraces on each floor and the layout, which has been specifically designed for flexible working. We are sure that this will be a real benefit to BLM, which has a keen focus on new ways of working."
