M&G Real Estate and intu are to submit plans for an £11m redevelopment of Halle Square at Manchester Arndale.
The 25,000 sq ft ground-floor space will be rebranded as Halle Place and feature 10 restaurants and a café.
Restaurants will offer al fresco seating in the mall area, surrounding a new public art piece in the atrium.
Construction of the scheme is expected to complete in 2018, subject to consent.
Kannika Mall, asset manager at M&G Real Estate, said: “Halle Place is a step-change for the food and beverage offer in Manchester city centre. The diversity and character of the brands we expect to bring to Halle Place will ensure shoppers benefit from a more exciting experience-led shopping destination, which in turn will drive stronger long-term income performance for the centre.”
Manchester Arndale is one of Europe’s largest inner city shopping centres. It is managed by CBRE. The retained agents are JLL and Metis Real Estate Advisors.
