Weavers Quay ship set to sail
A 201-home development in Weavers Quay in in Manchester’s New Islington Marina has been given planning approval.
Manchester Life Development Company has received permission for the rental development on a currently vacant site bordered by Old Mill Street, Weybridge Road, Coppersmith Road and the marina.
Weavers Quay will provide one, two and three-bed rental apartments from spring 2019 onwards, complete with residents’ club room, 64 on-site car and 130 on-site cycle spaces, and a 24-hour concierge service.
Manchester Life said the marina-side location of Weavers Quay in the emerging Ancoats district, provides a desirable central Manchester location with immediate and easy access to the city’s employment, amenities and transport networks.
Weavers Quay is the sixth and final site within Phase One of Manchester Life to receive planning approval.
Phase One will deliver more than 1,000 new rental and for sale homes in East Manchester and set a new benchmark for residential accommodation in the city by bringing together the best of residential design, development and management.
Part of Manchester Life’s mission is to redefine the standards of Manchester’s rental market by delivering exceptional customer service right from the start of the rental process, providing on site facilities such as club rooms and gyms, and the attention to detail to encourage people to stay for longer – higher ceilings, larger spaces, proper storage, energy-efficient buildings, and easy access to essential services such as laundry and cleaning available through our online portal for tenants.
Manchester Life Development Company is the residential property development company owned by Manchester City Council and Abu Dhabi United Group, which is driving the sympathetic and sustainable redevelopment of Ancoats and New Islington.
