A fourth round of consultation on Far East Consortium’s Red Bank neighbourhood, part of the £4bn Victoria North project, has begun.



FEC has partnered with Manchester City Council for the delivery of Victoria North, which is made up of seven neighbourhoods, including New Cross, Collyhurst Village, South Collyhurst, and, of course, Red Bank.

The proposed buildings are set to range from six to 34 storeys. Together, they would offer around 21,500 sq ft of ground floor retail, commercial, and leisure space.

SWAN HOUSE, MANCHESTER

Our latest residential project at Swan Street in Manchester is progressing well.

When completed the development will consist of 373 residential apartments located across a 31 storey, 13 storey and 5 storey towers.

The scheme will also include associated car parking, amenity spaces, public realm and other associated works following the demolition of existing buildings for our client Ridgeback.

Presently the RC frame has reached level 18 for tower 1 and the lower tower 2 recently topped out.

The envelope and internal fit out are swiftly following the frames progression. Great work by all involved on the project.

Property Week.

Property developer and asset manager Candour has acquired a Manchester City centre mixed-use tower development from Aegon Property Income Fund for an undisclosed amount.



Aegon gained planning consent in January 2022 to extend the eight-storey resi and office property at 39 Deansgate totalling 41,000 sq ft to 200,000 sq ft over 17 storeys.



Toby Pentecost, co-founder of Candour, said: “39 Deansgate is a 100% prime development site within Manchester’s city core market. With a planning consent in place it gives Candour the opportunity to deliver a brand new best-in-class grade-A office development.”



Candour will work with the incumbent design team and with Manchester City Council, to ensure the building is the most efficient and sustainable use of this gateway site.

Event City was demolished about 2 weeks ago.

For some reason it’s now being used to store Chep pallets.

Hopefully it’s on temporary?

Therme Manchester is proposed for the site.

The first ever Union co-living tower has been topped out and T2 closely following behind; looking forward to it being fully weathertight in the next few weeks.

Fantastic effort from the LD GROUNDWORKS AND CIVIL ENGINEERING LTD team on site at our Regent Plaza development. Block B is progressing nicely with external landscaping and block paving taking shape. Brick slip installation is almost complete ready for handover in the coming weeks.

Well worth a quick visit, especially at night when the LED exterior is lit up. It’s tucked away on the University Campus, and a bit tricky to find. But there’s a pub next door if you fancy a quick pint? :-)

More city jobs jobs for (young) people = more residential developments.

The rumour is the Civil Service are looking at 900,000 sq ft in the city centre. Spinningfields has been tipped for that.

Downing Living at Firs Street will do well out of this.
