The Toast Rack is in a very poor state. But it looks as if it can still be redeveloped.

Put Toast Rack into Youtube search. There are plenty of videos from inside it and and via drones.

I used to live in Longsight, about 10 mins walk from the rack. Shame to hear about it having seen better days. It's an iconic building. To me, anyway. Memories of a happy childhood. Isn't it a listed building? Is Manchester Grammar School still there? We lived on Birch Hall Lane, about 50 yards from the main gates.

It’s listed.(corrected)
Manchester Grammar School is still there.

The Toast Rack was put up for sale in June 2023.

Estrela Properties is looking to offload the listed Modernist building, which sits at the centre of a 3.7-acre site awaiting redevelopment.
The Toast Rack building itself, sold to Estrela by Manchester Metropolitan University for £5m in 2014, would be converted into apartments.

Damn, that’s a good skyline!

Every new house should have solar panels and a EV charger. Well done Salboy for adding solar panels to the new houses.

Seven years ago, the Paterson building which housed our Manchester Institute tragically burned down. It was a dark time as many scientists watched years’ worth of work go up in flames – but this is a story of resilience. Within weeks, they were back to working on more potentially life-saving research in a temporary lab space – and this year, the doors opened to a brand new facility.

Over the last few years, we’ve worked with The Christie NHS Foundation Trust and The University of Manchester on securing funds to come back bigger, better, and more visionary than ever. And we’ve done just that – through insurance payments, philanthropic giving, local charity support, and investment from government agencies, this new £150m research site has risen from the ashes.

Join us for a look around.
