Five new development opportunities in the North

As we work so closely with the construction, development, plant and crane hire industries, we think it’s helpful to bring you the latest in land and development opportunities. We’ve compiled together five of the most exciting land plots (in our humble opinion) currently for sale in the North, UK.  

Even if you’re not interested in buying or investing, it’s interesting to browse and see what new developments could be appearing near you in the not-so-distant future.  

Trafford Retail Park, Manchester 

Fresh on the market and prime Manchester, practically facing the world-renowned Trafford Retail Park. The site is cleared, vacant and ready for action. This is a brand new development opportunity and we suspect it will be snapped up pretty quickly given the excellent location.
