“While we have scope for future apartments here, these are the last houses that will be on offer in an area that has become very popular with families in recent years; this is a suburban enclave in the clutches of central Manchester, with the delights of the city enhanced by a school, green space, a Marina and all you’d expect from a modern community. We can’t wait to welcome our new residents in.”

The news comes as House by Urban Splash also announces that its prior phase of houses at Stubbs Mews on the north eastern end of New Islington have also now completely sold out. These three-storey homes each feature a terrace overlooking the Ashton Canal and will all soon be occupied by new residents.

It means that the company has now created hundreds of houses and apartments here, more than a third of them affordable, as well as cafes, restaurants, a marina, park, and an OFSTED Outstanding primary school.
