Hong Kong developer Far East Consortium lodges plans for £235m resi project in Manchester
FEC plans to develop a 40-storey residential tower featuring winter gardens on every seventh storey, as well as ground-floor retail and leisure units, all of which will link to the existing Angel Meadow Park. The developer first revealed plans for the project, which forms part of the wider Noma masterplan, in March this year.
The scheme also includes two apartment blocks of 22 and 17 storeys, as well as new building on Mount Street housing five three-bedroom townhouses with 131 apartments on the upper floors. In total, Angel Meadow will provide 756 new homes across four buildings.
FEC regional general manager Gavin Taylor said:
“We’ve paid close attention to activating the ground floors and the spaces between the buildings while also providing a wide range of homes suitable for families as well as professionals.
“Our goal is to see long-term occupancy of the homes in Angel Meadow and the development is geared towards private sale, rather than institutional investors.”
FEC has also been named as the development partner for the city’s £1bn Northern Gateway masterplan. The Northern Gateway regeneration area, which extends over 120 ha from Victoria station in the city centre through the Lower Irk Valley, New Cross and Collyhurst to the north, will provide up to 10,000 new homes over a 10-15 year period.
