The neighbourhood
Innovative, inclusive and responsibly designed.
NOMAâs been growing since 1782; since then, it hasnât stopped. In this new phase of evolution, weâre regenerating the area to help businesses grow stronger; people grow together; the city to grow its status and plants to simply grow.
The NOMA neighbourhood offers outstanding connectivity, embraces its rich heritage and keeps people and community firmly at its heart.
Spanning 20-acres the masterplan is creating new homes, offices, hotels, shops, restaurants and bars around vibrant urban spaces. This is underpinned by a forward-thinking, neighbourhood-led approach that champions the idea that places are better when people are involved in making them.
What does NOMA stand for? NOMA is a portmanteau â of NO, for North of England and MA for Manchester. Where NOMA is proudly located.
