Linear Living has submitted plans for a 24-storey residential block with 251 homes in Manchester city centre’s Green Quarter.
Linear Living’s Manchester 251-home scheme
The homes include four townhouses and seven homes that would be adaptable for residents with additional needs, such as wheelchair-user apartments.
The long-vacant site, bounded by Cheetham Hill Road, Lord Street and Fernie Street, previously held retail and commercial units that have been partially demolished.
Subject to planning approval, Linear Living expects to start work on site before the end of the year with completion targeted for early 2029.
Linear Living chief executive Stephen Holmes said: “We see this as a gateway scheme, with the opportunity to make a strong architectural statement, while contributing to the wider regeneration of the Green Quarter.
“Working with an experienced project team, we have developed designs that are commercially viable and aligned with the long-term vision for the area. Subject to approval, we look forward to bringing forward a high-quality scheme that adds lasting value to this part of Manchester.”
The land is adjacent to the Strangeways and Cambridge Strategic Regeneration Framework area, a joint initiative by Manchester and Salford councils aiming to deliver long-term regeneration.
The framework outlines plans for the development of more than 7,000 homes, as well as public realm and employment spaces, over the next 30 years.
Two residential schemes directly opposite Linear Living’s site have already been given the green light.
