Demand for residential accommodation in Manchester is high. The city is undergoing rapid change and growing at a rate of around 2,000 homes per year. This is to house Manchester’s rapidly growing population, which is expected to increase from 530,300 in 2016 to 625,000 by 2025.

PRIME LOCATION FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW

Middlewood Locks is the largest of three regeneration corridors that make up an ambitious renewal programme for Manchester and Salford. It is being built around existing retail parks, with regeneration work running from 2015 to 2030.

With the Manchester and Bury Canal running through the heart of the neighbourhood, Middlewood Locks is an attractive area that will offer a unique living environment. The 24.5-acre site is exceptionally well connected, with Manchester city centre within easy walking/cycling distance. Main transport links are just a mile away.

The local area features a host of key developments, including the University of Salford and the Crescent District. The Greengate regeneration is reviving 13 hectares, in order to reconnect the historic centre of Salford with Manchester’s modern, vibrant city centre. Meanwhile, Irwell River Park is creating an international waterfront destination that will benefit from a range of environmental and access improvements, creating opportunities for sustainable transport, as well as commercial and residential development.

In addition, the Bridgewater canal corridor will feature the restoration of key heritage sites, as well as public realm and access improvements, along with new residential, commercial and leisure amenities. On the commercial side of things, Digital Village is home to a new business development that will mix historic features like Ordsall Hall with modern economic opportunities. Business, creativity and leisure opportunities are also blended at the nearby Soapworks. Then there’s the tri-modal inland port facility and distribution park development known as Port Salford… whichever way you turn, Middlewood Plaza is at the heart of a prime regeneration location that clearly marks the future direction of the Greater Manchester area.

MIDDLEWOOD PLAZA, MANCHESTER

A CITY OF CULTURE

Greater Manchester has its own unique culture, from its notable architecture to its lively arts scene. Manchester has been a leading light in terms of its artistic prowess since the Art Treasures of Great Britain exhibition in 1857, which presented more than 16,000 works of art. The modern-day city is home to six impressive art galleries, as well as a number of museums.

Superb theatres and live music venues also abound and Manchester is intrinsically linked with the growth and success of the UK music scene thanks to the rise of Northern Soul in the 1960s. From large venues like Manchester Opera House to smaller establishments supporting developing local talent, the city has plenty to offer in terms of its cultural attractions.

Of course, Manchester is also famous around the world for its sporting prowess, with Manchester United FC inspiring global admiration. As well as football, the city also offers an enticing environment for fans of cycling and athletics. The legacy of the 2002 Commonwealth Games, which Manchester hosted, has done much for the breadth of the city’s sports offering.

Also home to an excellent nightlife scene and a staggering array of shops and boutiques, Manchester has everything that modern city dwellers could hope for in terms of leisure pursuits. This has played a large part in the city’s rapid growth over the past decade, which in turn has created an exceptional and ongoing opportunity for buy-to-let property investors.
