This was back in 2024. It might give a clue as to what is proposed for the Collar site in the future? Part of the Collar site could become an AI Education Campus?
It's good to know that Sheikh Mansour and his investment company Arce will be involved in the Holt Town proposal. https://holttownwoodtown.com/#home

Since its formation in 2014, Manchester Life has been one of the dominant investors and residential developers in Ancoats and New Islington, delivering 1,500 homes and more than 30,000 sq ft of commercial space. Another 400+ homes are on the way, as well as a mobility hub and public realm.
Edelman went on to add that Acre was not walking away from its relationship with the city council anytime soon – with plans to continue to support the local authority in the large-scale Holt Town regeneration programme.
However, what Manchester Life looks like and focusses on in the future may not necessarily be the residential projects that have defined its existence thus far. Edelman spoke to Place North West after his panel session to elaborate more on his vision for Manchester Life’s future.
“When we finish the project that we’re working on in the Poland Street Area of Ancoats, we will have reached, sort-of, our first plateau,” Edelman said.
“The second plateau may involve some housing, but really we’re more focused on thinking about job creation – and when you think about job creation, we think about skills,” he continued.
“What we need to do is create educational places where young people can learn those skills that are relevant to a world in which AI is perhaps the future and the computer, in a way, is the past. I want to focus Man Life to see if we can create those spaces, which will provide opportunity for educating young people so they have a pathway to jobs.”

The completion of Manchester Life’s residential-led plans for Ancoats may be in their final phase, but the partnership between Acre Real Estate and Manchester City Council is far from finished, according to Marty Edelman.
