Morgan Leahy Property Group with its new partner are planning to re-develop Barton Square, the thoroughfare behind Manchesteršs historic Barton Arcade, which connects Deansgate and St Ann's Square, and create a new street with a variety of retail and leisure uses. Morgan Leahy Property Group already own Barton Arcade and also the adjacent Lancaster Building, which in total comprises a Victorian retail frontage along Deansgate of around 100 metres.

Cliff said; "The new street is a progression of the works already underway to rejuvenate the Arcade. Our aspiration is to animate and improve the under-utilised Barton Square.
"Morgan Leahy and I have a strong relationship to build on. We are both extremely excited about the possibility of bringing Barton Square up to its full potential.
"It is massively under-exploited given its character, heritage and central location. We are confident we can create a vibrant quarter there."
