Circle Square

What are the whereabouts of Circle Square?

Circle Square is nestled in the Oxford Road Corridor, Manchester's innovation district located in the bustling heart of the city. The area accommodates a thriving community of institutions, students, and young professionals. Technologies and art, work and leisure – the Oxford Road Corridor creates a unique mix that brings extraordinary people together. Mere minutes away from Manchester Metropolitan University and a collection of iconic music venues, such as YES and the Deaf Institute, the new development gets a good taste of the area’s authentic character.

To get a moment of peace away from the hustle and bustle, residents of Circle Square can take a short walk to All Saints Park, a small leafy space surrounded by educational institutions. Another place to get your share of peaceful greenery is Gartside Gardens, a large tree-lined park that, apart from an intricate network of footpaths for strolling around, offers a collection of basketball and tennis courts as well as a fitness path for those who are into sports and active leisure.

The area boasts incredible transport connections. The new development is a 5-minute walk away from Manchester Oxford Road Railway Station.
