Capital&Centric is to restore a historic mill in Manchester to open 'creative workspaces' and its new headquarters after the plans were given the green light.
Neptune Mill, a 22,000 sqft industrial building on Chapeltown Street, is to be transformed into four floors of workspaces while food and beverage space has been earmarked for the ground floor.
It's expected that the work could start on site by the end of the year, with the first workspaces targeted to be available by late 2024.

Joint managing director Tom Wilmot said: "As the city expands, enterprises are always on the hunt for the next stunning workspace that will inspire creativity and foster new ideas.
"We're delivering that with Neptune Mill, creating the next chapter in the historic building's story. We believe in the project so much, we’re even planning to base our own team there as part of our new HQ.
"We’ve always been massive champions of Manchester's Piccadilly East, having delivered new hotel rooms for visitors and homes for those putting down permanent roots in the city.
"This is the next, exciting step for the neighbourhood, bringing in businesses and creating ground floor spaces that the community can patronise.
"We're hoping to move pretty quickly and be on site with the restoration by the end of the year."
