What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Manchester City Council has received just under £3m from a deal to share profits derived from developments on its land by Abu Dhabi United Group. This arrangement, struck in 2014, requires the council to receive payments if profits from schemes in Ancoats and New Islington exceed a certain level. The council stated that the regeneration projects were worth £1.25bn to the city and expects another payment soon.
