The project is intended to form ‘distinctive riverside communities along the Irwell’; a mixed-use development consisting of 1,400 homes within five towers. The towers include farmer’s markets, retail units and educational facilities forming the core of a city-centre ‘village’.
It will boast independent bars supporting locally brewed craft beer, cafes, communities galleries and event spaces, as well as a new boat club with access to the Irwell. The new public realm will stitch the development into the surrounding city, entirely regenerating a derelict waterfront and forgotten piece of Manchester sandwiched between a ring-road, a trainline and a waterway.
