Work set to start on £125m city centre Vision development
Construction is set to begin soon on a £125m residential development in the heart of Manchester.
Vision is a joint venture between Altrincham-based developers EGCC Group/Empire, with Alliance Investments, the sales arm of Manchester-based Property Alliance Group, appointed to provide all sales, marketing and branding for the scheme.
Completing the team of Manchester companies working together on the project, Jon Matthews Architects created the architectural design for the site, with Russell WBHO set to undertake the construction in the second quarter of 2022.
Vision will comprise 37 storeys and 327 prime residential apartments on Whitworth Street West, directly opposite AXIS Tower and Deansgate tram station.
Amenities will include a two-storey glass atrium, a reception with a hotel-style concierge, ground floor and mezzanine coffee shop and juice bar, gymnasium and separate yoga/spin studio, cinema room, residents’ lounge, additional large, dedicated co-working space, and private meeting rooms.
All apartments in the development will be available for sale through Alliance Investments, with properties available from £170,000.
Ronald Garrett, managing director of Alliance Investments, said: “At Alliance Investments we partner with carefully selected developers, and pride ourselves on our ability to provide expert sales and marketing services for high quality developments, in prime locations across the UK.
Proposed Vision scheme
“Our team has experienced a phenomenal start to 2022, following on from a record 2021, and we are receiving consistently high levels of enquiries from new homeowners as well as investors, for properties across the UK.”
He added: “Manchester, in particular, has an undersupply of homes to meet the current levels of demand, both from homebuyers and those looking for rental properties, and we expect this to continue throughout 2022 and beyond. We feel Vision is perfectly suited to the vibrant Manchester market, benefitting from both an exceptional location and outstanding amenities, and are delighted to be bringing such a high quality project to the market.”
Dean Hewart, director of EGCC Group, said: “Developing a strategic partnership with Alliance Investments for Vision is the final addition to what is already a dynamic and experienced team who will deliver this magnificent building.
“I firmly believe that Alliance Investments are the best partners we could be working alongside for this project, due to their proven track record in providing outstanding global sales, marketing and branding.”
Paul Rothwell, managing director of Empire, said: “The level of pre-launch interest in the project has been remarkable – this already proves our partners, Alliance Investments, are perfectly placed to effectively market the building and we are extremely pleased to be working together.”
