£250m investment in Rochdale town centre.

The new jobs and investment are a sign of growing confidence in the town, which is seeking to become ‘the best place for business’ in Greater Manchester. Work on new warehouse developments totaling 723,000 sq ft, including two new speculative £18.5m plots at Kingsway and two at Heywood Distribution Park with a combined value of £18m started.

Rochdale town centre has undergone significant
regeneration in recent years, some of the projects include:

Number One Riverside, the award winning iconic public library and council offices building was named the best corporate workplace in the country at the British Council for Offices (BCO) Awards. Metrolink opened at Rochdale train station in February 2013, and arrived in the town centre in 2014 with trams arriving in the town centre every 12 minutes. Adjacent to the metrolink and Number One Riverside is the new £11.5m transport interchange with a travel shop, a newsagents plus a Java bar coffee shop/internet café.

Other key projects include the £20m Police station refurbishment,
the £2.3m Rochdale Pioneers Museum expansion and the £11m
Rochdale leisure centre.

Rochdale Sixth Form College, the £21m state of the art education facility was rated outstanding by Ofsted and top in the country for value added performance.

The major investment made by the Tetrosyl Group in converting Newgate House into their corporate headquarters and the new Morrisons store on Smith Street opposite the Metrolink tram stop, is adding to the on-going transformation of Rochdale town centre.

Rochdale Riverside is the final piece of the jigsaw to complete the
regeneration of Rochdale, creating a true town centre destination.
