MediaCityUK is an exciting new home for creative, digital and media businesses. The site is being developed by Peel Media, together with construction partners Bovis, and public sector partner support from the Northwest Regional Development Agency, Central Salford Urban Regeneration Company and Salford City Council.
The quarter of a mile (0.4 km) extension to MediaCityUK will join the Eccles Metrolink line near the Broadway stop. It will connect the new development in the heart of Salford Quays to Manchester city centre, making it easily accessible from Manchester Piccadilly train station and Manchester airport.
The main tenant will be the BBC who will have over 2500 employees based at MediaCityUK by 2011. Joining the BBC will be the University of Salford and Northwest Vision and Media. To find out more about the development visit www.mediacityuk.co.uk
The Metrolink extension to MediaCityUK is jointly funded by the North West Regional Development Agency and Salford City Council.
