Ask Real Estate in partnership with Patrizia has made the shortlist for the £750m Mayfield regeneration scheme in another sign that the developer has bolstered its market credentials.
The firm will compete with Argent and Urban & Civic to deliver the 24-acre mixed-use development next to Piccadilly Station.
Advised by JLL, the joint venture between Manchester City Council, London and Continental Railways and Transport for Greater Manchester launched an OJEU process in September.
Early plans suggest it could deliver 800,000 sq ft of offices, 1,330 homes and 350 hotel bedrooms, alongside shops and leisure space and a new city park along the River Medlock.
The area is also set to benefit from an HS2 station and Northern Hub transport plans.
