Summary - The Waterside, Springfield Lane, Manchester, M3 7JQ M3 7JQ
1 bed 1 bath Residential Development
Large freehold site with consented scheme ideal for investor delivery.
183 consented residential units across mixed 1–3 bedroom apartments
A sizable riverside development site in central Manchester, consented for 183 private apartments across two linked blocks (3–18 storeys) and a small commercial unit. The scheme delivers a mix of 1, 2 and 3‑bed layouts, communal residents’ facilities and widespread Juliette balconies, arranged around a large 1.5‑acre plot with direct River Irwell frontage and excellent city transport links.
This is a planning‑led opportunity for investor or developer delivery: full planning was submitted and consent is subject to signing a Section 106 agreement (contribution £1,159,010). Vacant commercial buildings on site will be demolished to provide a cleared development plot, and the site is offered freehold and elected for VAT — both important for development budgeting and phasing.
The location suits rental demand and student or young professional occupiers: it sits within a short walk of Manchester Victoria and Salford Central stations, Metrolink connections, and surrounding university and cultural amenities. The riverside walks and cycle routes add lifestyle appeal while flood risk is recorded as none.
Buyers should note material transaction and delivery considerations: the consent is subject to S106 signing, broadband in the immediate area is reported very slow, and the scheme requires fulfilment of planning and construction conditions before occupation. For the right purchaser, the site offers scale, waterfront position and an immediate planning platform in a high‑demand central neighbourhood.
