Property Description
The Manchester Waters scheme will regenerate a former 26 acre dockland site located between the residential neighbourhood of Castlefield and Salford Quays.
The scheme forms a key part of the Northern Powerhouse and has a formal masterplan approved and adopted by both Trafford and Manchester City Councils’ with the capability to develop over 2,500 new residential homes.
The regeneration plans for Manchester Waters and the adjoining Cornbrook Hub will create a new destination which includes city – living style residential apartments up to 20-storeys in height along with multi-tenure development opportunities for young professionals and families alike.
Located on the north-eastern gateway to Trafford-with a close proximity to the regions most successful and fastest growing business and employment location – Manchester Waters holds a significant strategic role in the Cities’ growth.
X1 Manchester Waters is the first phase for the transformational Pomona Island development, delivering 742 homes for private market rent across five residential towers.
Previously dubbed as Manchesters ‘hidden Island’ and laying untouched for years, we are delighted to be helping to breathe life back in to Pomona Island with the delivery of our 5 phase development – X1 Manchester Waters. The island, which was once home to the Royal Pomona Palace and Botanical Gardens later, became docklands to serve the Manchester Ship Canal. X1 Manchester Waters is a key element – and the first being delivered – as part of a 10 year master plan for the area.
The location is truly unique and will offer residents stunning waterfront views along with excellent travel links to Greater Manchester – with the Pomona Island tram stop located just two minutes walk from the development. During one of his first outings as PM, Boris Johnson has pledged to ‘unleash the productive power of the Northern Powerhouse’ and visited Pomona Island as part of a visit for the new Trafford Centre Metrolink extension.
