The area is designed for office space, retail, catering facilities and much more, and a civil justice centre also opened here in October 2007. Manchesterò€™s retail is ranked as the fourth biggest retail area in the UK based on sales and the city centre retail area contains a wide variety of shops from department stores and major chains to high end boutiques and independent shops.
