NOMA Office Cost Guide — Manchester
20-acre regeneration north of Victoria station. Co-op Group HQ anchors a campus of restored cotton-trade buildings and new-build flex.
NOMA (North Manchester) is a long-running joint venture between the Co-op Group and Hermes that has redeveloped 20 acres around Manchester Victoria. The Co-op's One Angel Square is the anchor — one of the most sustainable buildings in Europe — and the Federation House, Hanover and Dantzic developments around it have transformed the area into Manchester's most credible tech and creative campus. Pricing is materially below Spinningfields and the public realm is genuinely good.

NOMA FAQs
Is NOMA the same as the Northern Quarter?
Adjacent, but distinct. NOMA is the planned regeneration north of Victoria; the Northern Quarter is the older bar/restaurant district immediately east.
