Spinningfields is an area of
Manchester city centre, in
North West England. It was specially developed in the 2000s as a business, retail and residential development of
Manchester, and is located between
Deansgate and the
River Irwell. Developed by
Allied London Properties, the £1.5 billion project consists of 20 new buildings, totalling approximately 430,000 sq metres of commercial, residential and retail space. It takes its name from Spinningfield, a narrow street which ran westwards from Deansgate. In 1968 Spinningfield and the area to the south were turned into Spinningfield Square, an open paved area. The
Manchester Civil Justice Centre is a landmark building of the scheme and construction commenced on
1 Spinningfields, a 90 metre office building, in early 2015.
