# We Are Groundbreaking
We Are Groundbreaking is a Manchester-based space consultancy that specialises in transforming property development projects through innovative live activity and event-focused design strategies. Operating across the property regeneration and development sectors, the company bridges the gap between architects, developers, and end-users by ensuring spaces are conceived not just as static environments, but as dynamic venues capable of hosting meaningful events and activations.
The business serves a diverse clientele including major property developers, architects, local authorities, sports organisations, and event producers. Their portfolio demonstrates work with high-profile clients such as Manchester City Football Club, MediaCityUK, Argent, Ask Developments, and the London Legacy Development Company. This client base reflects their reach across commercial, residential, and sporting sectors.
What distinguishes We Are Groundbreaking is their consultative, three-pillar approach combining space consultancy, live strategy, and live communications. Rather than treating public realm design as purely aesthetic or functional, they evaluate spaces through the lens of what they can activate and host. This philosophy proves particularly valuable in regeneration projects where maximising potential depends on understanding how spaces will be used, experienced, and celebrated. Their team includes qualified architects and landscape architects with deep expertise in designing public spaces that perform as event venues—from fan zones to community gathering spaces.
The company recognises that contemporary property development requires specialists who understand both the built environment and the live experience, filling a distinct niche within the sector.
