The scheme for LWP Redbank Public features two towers of 18 and 43 storeys on the 50-54 Red Bank site at the entrance to the Northern Gateway regeneration area.<\/p>\n

The project, which has gone out to public consultation, sits on a pocket plot just west of a huge 4,800-home masterplan drawn up by Maccreanor Lavington and Hawkins\\Brown, which was given outline approval<\/a> by Manchester City Council in 2023.<\/p>\n

According to LWP Redbank, which bought the site in 2019, the Jon Matthews proposals will provide a mix of one, two and three-bedroom flats \u2018suitable for everyone, from single occupiers to families\u2019 and offering \u2018sweeping city views\u2019. New commercial units are proposed for the ground floor.<\/p>\n

The team claims the development is aligned with Manchester City Council\u2019s wider Northern Gateway Strategic Regeneration Framework, which aims to deliver around 15,000 new homes over the next 15 years.<\/p>\n

Red Bank has been identified, it says, \u2018for distinctive landmark buildings of scale, helping to connect communities and improve access across the wider masterplan area\u2019.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson on behalf of the project team said: \u2018Red Bank is fast becoming a creative and vibrant part of Manchester, and our vision is to build on this character to create a distinctive new neighbourhood<\/p>\n

\u2018These proposals bring forward much-needed homes, alongside new public space, and active ground-floor uses that will add to the life of the area. We look forward to hearing what local people think during our consultation.\u2019<\/p>\n

All the proposed homes will have access to cycle parking and the towers will include air-source heat pumps and \u2018other low-carbon technologies\u2019.<\/p>\n

Consultation runs until 3 October.<\/p>\n
