\u201cKampus represents to me a development with a sense of purpose, it kind of knows what it’s about, what it’s for. Lots of developments end up being a bunch of buildings searching for a reason to be, furiously post-rationalising.<\/em><\/p>“We got the impression that the vision for Kampus would be something we, as an independent operator could get on board with. It will be a thoughtfully curated selection of independent businesses as part of a neighbourhood ecosystem, which is nice. All it was lacking was a pub (and a pizza shop).\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nLocated between Piccadilly station and the Gay Village, Kampus will be a mix of residential apartments, retail space and food and drink operators. The neighbourhood has taken over Grade II listed warehouses and canal shipping buildings constructed in the 1860s, as well as a 1960s tower block and former MMU campus building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Set to open in July, there will also be plenty of outdoor seating next to the Kampus garden, overlooking the canal.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThere will be plenty of outdoor seating overlooking the canal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nAdam Higgins, co-founder at Capital & Centric said<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cKampus is all about the lush green garden and having the best independent food and drink operators in amongst it. Cornerstone will be at the heart of the Kampus community, just like the local pub should be. And if you fancy a bite to eat, you can walk right through to Nell\u2019s to grab a slice of pizza to have with your pint<\/em><\/p>\u201cMore now so than ever, we really wanted to work with independent Manchester businesses and help them recover from what\u2019s been a pretty crap year. Common were one of the first bars in the Northern Quarter and have become a Manchester institution. They\u2019re going to be setting the tone for what we\u2019re creating at Kampus: independent, laid back and for everyone. And the timing couldn\u2019t be better as people start coming back into the city and life gets back to normal.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nCornerstone and Nell’s Pizza are set to open at Kampus in July.
