Place North West launches 2020 Media Pack

The region’s leading property media platform hosted a record number of people at 30 events in 2019, and expects further growth in 2020.

Hear from the region’s council chief executives and leaders, the company behind Warrington’s £142m Time Square, and Cheshire’s most prominent property developers at this Place North West event, taking place on 6 June.

The pan-European investor, which manages Birchwood Park, is to be the lead sponsor for Cheshire and Warrington at MIPIM 2018, heading a list of 31 organisations including Bruntwood, Peel and Grosvenor.

As marketing gadgets go, this one for Bright Building is causing a bit of a buzz. Virtual reality headsets from developer MSP, themed around the Manchester trope of the bee, were sent out this week, preparing the city for what a "hive of activity" the new offices will be.

Certain to stand out in a crowd, this rainbow digger will be at Manchester's Pride parade tomorrow representing Building Equality, the LGBT construction working group.

Place North West’s circulation saw a sharp increase in the first half of 2016. The number of unique users rose by 17% to 237,000 readers.

Chester's debut at the international property festival could signal the start of a higher profile for the city at MIPIM in future, with talk of plans to take a stand in the main conference hall, Palais des Festivals, next year.

Chester’s new £37m library and theatre, due to open at the end of this year, will be called Storyhouse. Until now the arts venue has been known by its project name, RE:NEW.
