Sadler's Yard and the surrounding public realm is part of the North West's largest mixed-used regeneration scheme, set at the heart of the city's NOMA redevelopment. The project is a joint venture by Hermes Real Estate, Manchester City Council and The Co-operative Group. It is intended to be used for events and will be a focal point for pedestrians and patrons frequenting the many shops, cafes and restaurants, some within newly exposed basements of the Co-operative's listed buildings. The square was named after James Sadler, a balloonist, chemist and pastry chef who made the first manned balloon flight from Manchester in 1785, chosen following a social media campaign asking for suggestions from members of the public. The contractor works were undertaken by the Casey Group and funding came from the European Regional Development Fund. http://web.archive.org/web/20190812024337/https://www.hardscape.co.uk/project/sadlers-yard-noma-manchester/
