The Council is inviting interested developers to present proposals to transform a surplus multi storey car park on Church Street and deliver a landmark development in the heart of the Northern Quarter.
Dubbed St Paul’s after the original church that once stood on the site, this is a rare and unique opportunity to remodel the 1.54acre (0.62ha) city centre location through a highly sustainable development – with the potential to include mixed-tenure residential and commercial uses, along with the delivery of a new public square
The Church Street site is a strategic opportunity in Manchester’s city centre and the development will look to complement and enhance the Northern Quarter whilst also contributing towards the Councils strategic economic, housing and environmental priorities.
Proposals are expected to deliver a scheme of world class architectural quality that will create a welcoming and ambitious urban development that respects and celebrates the surrounding neighbourhood’s heritage and independent ethos.
The current multi-storey car park use detracts from the wider Northern Quarter and proposals should pay homage to the historic street pattern of the area, while encouraging ground floor independent business opportunities for which the neighbourhood is now famed.
