Airport City Manchester / Global Logistics
For those who are interested in the 'bigger picture' at Manchester Airport, a video outlining future plans for Airport City is now available for online viewing.
The video covers Lynda Shillaw's presentation at the international property exhibition MIPIM taking place in Cannes this week. The next phases of Airport City's development are outlined, backed by slides and promotional film footage. The area previously referred to as 'Airport City South' has now been rebranded 'Global Logistics'. This already includes the new DHL facility, and details of two much larger forthcoming logistics developments are detailed in the presentation. At Airport City North ('Airport City Manchester') the first new-build offices and the recently-approved new hotel plans are showcased.
The online video coverage can be located by googling 'livestream.com Manchester at MIPIM'. A number of videos appear (worthwhile in their own right if you are interested in Greater Manchester developments generally), but the one in question is labelled 'Airport City 16:10'. As an aside, I suggest you skip directly to the two minute mark as video-coverage seems to have commenced slightly early, treating us to views of the room being prepared accompanied by a music soundtrack.
The Airport City presentation is not recommended for those whose interests are limited to air services alone. Trains / trams etc. do get a mention!
