Kier Group plc has announced significant progress at its Trade City Manchester development, with Chinese e-commerce giant JD.com securing a 9,250 sq ft unit to launch its Joy Express B2C delivery service—their first operation in Manchester. This follows the recent opening of a 6,500 sq ft Howdens depot and an earlier commitment from Flooring Superstore, which took 3,750 sq ft. Trade City Manchester, part of Kier Property’s wider UK logistics portfolio, offers flexible space for trade, logistics, and light industrial occupiers, with six units still available. The scheme’s city-centre location and strong connectivity are attracting both national and international tenants.
