One of the UK’s biggest clubbing names, The Warehouse Project, has secured a new home at Capital&Centric’s Neptune Mill – marking a huge moment for the reborn 19th century mill in Manchester’s Piccadilly East.
The Warehouse Project, known for its legendary parties and high-energy shows, is taking an entire floor – around 4,000 sq ft – at Neptune Mill, bringing even more creative energy to the Grade II listed landmark.
Neptune Mill has been painstakingly restored by social impact developer Capital&Centric, blending original features like exposed brickwork and timber beams with bold, contemporary design. The result: some of the city’s most characterful workspaces, perfect for businesses that want more than the bland corporate office.
A lush new courtyard and Café Cotton’s new coffee shop have already opened at the site, adding to the buzz and making Neptune Mill a new go-to spot in the city. The Warehouse Project’s arrival cements the mill’s status as a creative and cultural hub.
Tom Wilmot, Joint Managing Director at Capital&Centric, said:
“Bringing The Warehouse Project into Neptune Mill is a massive boost for the building and for Piccadilly East. They’re one of the UK’s most exciting cultural forces, and it’s brilliant to have them in the mill. We’re all about creating spaces that are anything but bland, and this is another milestone in breathing new life into one of Manchester’s historic mills.”
Sam Kandel, Co-founder of The Warehouse Project, said:
“Neptune Mill is the perfect spot for us – full of history and character, but ready for the next chapter. Capital&Centric’s vision for the building really aligns with what we do so well: mixing heritage with something fresh and different. We’re looking forward to becoming part of the community here and seeing Neptune Mill grow as a creative neighbourhood.”
Neptune Mill has been repurposed to the highest energy standards, achieving an EPC A rating while saving huge amounts of embodied carbon that would have been lost if the mill was demolished.
The arrival of The Warehouse Project follows Capital&Centric’s RIBA award-winning restorations in the area, including Crusader Mill and the bold new Phoenix apartments. It’s another step in their mission to make Piccadilly East one of the city’s most exciting and creative neighbourhoods.
