The Sharp Project is a Manchester space hosting flexible office, production and event space. It is based in a 200,000 square feet (19,000 m2) refurbished warehouse previously occupied by electronics company Sharp.

Manchester City Council purchased the former warehouse owned by the Sharp Corporation in 2006 for £6.1 million and decided to keep the Sharp name for the new development.[1] The development of the facility was headed by Sue Woodward, former Managing Director at the Granada Television franchise.[2]
