#PIPbyWiP Summit Fringe Event: Site Tour of Sister by Liz Bamber

Join us for an exciting site tour of Sister, a cutting-edge regeneration project located in Manchester. This event provides an excellent opportunity to explore the city’s newest innovation district and gain a deeper understanding of the exciting future of urban development, all while networking with like-minded professionals in the property sector.

Sister is a dynamic £1.7 billion regeneration project that is transforming the heart of Manchester into a vibrant innovation district. A joint venture between Bruntwood SciTech and University of Manchester, the development focuses on creating a sustainable, tech-driven and community-centric space. Designed to house a range of businesses, from start-ups to established enterprises, Sister is poised to be a hub for collaboration and innovation. It will feature office spaces, homes and retail offerings, all set within a green, accessible environment that prioritises sustainability and modern infrastructure. The first phase of the development, Renold building, has been completed and we will begin our tour there with a light breakfast from South Manchester French Bakery, La Chouquette.

The tour will be led by Liz Bamber, Director of Place, who leads on marketing and partnerships, as well as curating a programme of cultural and community-driven events which bring the vision of Sister to life.

Dress Code: Comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate attire for walking (PPE is not required for this site tour).

Members and non-members of all genders are welcome.
