Royal Mills

Royal Mills lies at the heart of one of Manchester’s largest regeneration areas. It is set within the Ancoats Urban Village development area which has seen major investment and development over recent years as well as an influx of creative industries and a new residential community. Just over the Rochdale Canal is New Islington with a number of new buildings now complete along with a new water park which will become one of Manchester’s most existing and vibrant places to be.

Set on the banks of the Rochdale Canal Royal Mills was constructed in 1912. A significant investment programme has enhanced many of the unique features of Royal Mills in recent years and has rejuvenated the building. Royal Mills now comprises over 30,000 sq ft of commercial space ideally suited for both office and retail users within its business centre.

The public sector has invested more than £60m into Ancoats in recent years in an effort to transform the area into an attractive new extension to Manchester City Centre. This investment has involved the delivery of a stunning new public square, work to restore the original public realm and the renovation of various Victorian Mill buildings and other heritage assets. Ancoats is now successfully reaping the benefits of this investment, with the area being voted one of the coolest neighbourhoods in the world in 2018 by Time Out Magazine.
