Partners submit plan for new ‘Kampus’
JOINT venture partners Capital & Centric and Henry Boot Developments have submitted a plan for Manchester Metropolitan University’s Aytoun Street Campus.
They have delivered their Strategic Regeneration Framework to Manchester City Council outlining their plans for the site.
The Aytoun Street Campus was the home too the MMU business school until 2012 when it was relocated to a new new £75m building on the All Saints Campus off Oxford Road.
The joint venture partnership has agreed to purchase seven buildings from MMU on the 2.3 acre (0.9 hectare) site.
The outline plans for the large scale mixed use development site include refurbishing both of the Grade II listed mills – Minto & Turner and Minshulls Mill.
They’re proposing a number of new buildings and the total project size is set to be around 450,000sq ft providing up to 500 new homes and two hotels.
The proposals will create a new city centre leisure hub of bars and restaurants too. The development value for the scheme is estimated to be in excess of £150m.
The new development scheme has been named Kampus.
