A planning application for a residential-led mixed use development within New Cross, Manchester has been submitted by Balfour Beatty Investments.
The development was designed by Hodder and Partners and will feature two buildings located around a landscaped courtyard containing 274 one, two and three bedroom apartments. Residents will be able to take advantage of concierge facilities, residents’ lounges, a gym, and two roof top terraces incorporating private dining pavilions.
The project is situated within a short walk of Manchester’s Northern Quarter district known for its of independent designers, bars and restaurants. Also close by are Piccadilly Gardens, Market Street and Shudehill interchange for connections to the bus and metrolink service in addition Victoria Train Station.
The site was acquired in January this year by Balfour Beatty Investments and following the successful planning application it is envisaged that work on the development will begin later this year, with the first residents being able to move in by late 2018.
