DLA Piper and Addleshaw Goddard have advised on a property deal which will see ITV move the entire set of Coronation Street to the new MediaCityUK development in Manchester.

The deal will see ITV move its Manchester base to Peel Holdings’ 700,000 sq m development in Salford Quays in 2012. It will also see ITV build a standalone production and studio centre for the long-running TV soap on a 7.7 acre site at Trafford Wharf in Manchester.
