Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

The Plateau forms the northern edge of the Area. It defines the transitional character of the strip of land nestled between Bradford Road and the Ashton Canal.
It has the potential for a sequence of lower rise buildings. These would align with those in Miles Platting and nurture a harmonious townscape along Bradford Road.
The Ridge is an important bridge between Ancoats and New Islington and Sport City and the Etihad Campus. It is characterised by the southern towpath and buildings lining the Ashton Canal. It invites a mix of uses within mid-rise buildings that complete the historic fabric and grain of the area. This could support the reuse of historic mill buildings, whilst also introducing new design that celebrates the heritage.
Enhancements to the canal towpath and access to the waterfront create opportunities for all. The benefits from this improvement to the canal could allow for increased building density.
The Terraces emerge from the transition between the Lower Medlock and the Ashton Canal. This area is an opportunity to deliver a compact, tight-knit fabric of low-rise townhouses. These would blend living and working and address the need for family housing in proximity to the City Centre.
The low-rise buildings in the Terraces encourages innovative construction methods and material. These could include timber-led construction, to support a low carbon neighbourhood.
Running through the Terraces is the Play Link, a one-kilometre car-free route. It would safely connect St Anne's Primary School and Parkview Community School. A clear and inviting connection to Miles Platting would be created.
The Embankment occupies the site of the former Holt Town Reservoir. It would define the transition between the Valley and the Terraces. A memorable and inviting arrival space opposite the Holt Town Metrolink station could be created.
Another possibility is to site a new cultural and community venue. Or an enhanced area of open space could be created. Further east, mid- to higher rise buildings could step up towards Confluence Park.

The Valley forms a unique opportunity to enhance and reinvent the landscape adjoining the River Medlock. It can deliver an ecological and recreational link between the City Centre and Sport City and the Etihad Campus. The floodplain requires careful regard for any development in this area.

Two clusters of tall buildings would balance with upgrades to the river corridor. These would improve biodiversity, recreation, and play.
https://www.holttownwoodtown.com/#chapter-16
The culmination of this area will be at Confluence Park. The enhanced park setting would form the basis for a single landmark tower of up to thirty-five storeys. This would have a destination play and recreation space at its base.

It’s a 20 minute walk to Piccadilly station, and 10 minutes to the tram, very much doubt a train station would be part of it.

I will be going to the public consultation as I want to find out as much information as I can about the Holt Town proposal.

I’m definitely going to consider buying a house or an apartment.

The location is perfect for me. Next to the Etihad and a stroll into town. Work in Trafford Park is accessible via the Mancunian Way. I start work early and finish work early, so the traffic shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

Hopefully the sale of my current house in the future and my savings will cover the cost of 2 bedroom house or a 2 bedroom apartment? Ideally I’d prefer a house.

I think it’s a fantastic and exciting proposal, even though different phases of it are quite a few years away yet.

Definitely get a house and make sure there’s no service charge mate, they are a licence to print money.

Hardly. It’s a fair distance from Glasgow. It is between Glasgow and Edinburgh on the M8 not too far from Coatbridge and Motherwell. It is 12 miles from Glasgow and 34 miles from Edinburgh.

It's Motherwell, I'm packaging a real estate deal for a client out that way - miles outside Glasgow.
