We’re proud to announce the launch of the Commercial Property Expo, a brand new one-day event dedicated entirely to the world of commercial real estate, investment, and development.

Why we built this

At the Property Developer Show, we’ve been listening to our community and one request kept coming up: a dedicated space for commercial property. So that’s what we built.

The commercial property sector is home to some of the sharpest minds in business. Investors acquiring office blocks. Developers converting retail units into thriving mixed-use spaces. Lenders backing ambitious industrial projects. Operators reshaping the leisure landscape.

These people are doing extraordinary things and the Commercial Property Expo exists to put them in the same room.

What is the Commercial Property Expo?

A focused, high-quality one-day event bringing together the entire commercial property ecosystem under one roof.

Date: Wednesday 4th November 2026

Venue: Old Trafford, Manchester

Whether you’re an investor, developer, landlord, agent, lender, or professional service provider, this is your opportunity to connect with the people and businesses shaping the commercial property sector, not just in the North, but across the UK.

The expo exists to connect the sector
