Prominent waterside gateway site for residential-led redevelopment near Manchester.
2.30-acre freehold site with vacant possession
A prominent 2.30-acre freehold site fronting the A662 and overlooking Droylsden Marina, offered with vacant possession and informal tender. The council’s guidance supports a residential-led scheme — housing, apartments or specialist/retirement accommodation — with an element of food and beverage and building heights of up to six storeys adjacent to the marina.
This cleared town-centre plot benefits from excellent road links (M60 J23 about 1.9 miles), fast broadband and a nearby Metrolink stop for direct access to Manchester city centre and key venues. The location combines waterfront outlooks and town-centre amenities, making it suitable for mixed-use projects and retirement housing that capitalise on marina views and urban connectivity.
No planning consent is included; the council has set expectations rather than granted permission. Bidders should allow for standard site preparation, potential environmental surveys and any remediation works given the site’s previous civic use. A dedicated dataroom will provide title, topographical and environmental information to inform proposals.
This opportunity suits developers targeting strategic gateway sites in major conurbations, or specialist operators seeking retirement or apartment schemes with waterside character. Offers invited for the freehold interest; tender details and submission deadlines will be provided separately.
