Waterhouse Gardens

A neighbourhood infused with Manchester’s vibrant spirit

A commanding new landmark, Waterhouse Gardens is named after one of the most acclaimed figures of Victorian architecture, Alfred Waterhouse. Celebrated for combining complex design with functionality, Waterhouse’s works and his approach remain an inspiration for modern-day place makers almost 150 years later.

For the first time, this historic area is to become a coveted home address. A community of high- spec apartments, duplexes and penthouses are coupled with a private clubhouse offering high-end amenities and services to residents.

This residential-led development is surrounded by landscaped public spaces, boutique traders and independent eateries creating a new, energetic avenue.

A gateway development, Waterhouse Gardens is situated a short distance from central Manchester- connecting the popular Greengate and N.O.M.A neighbourhoods with the historic Medieval Quarter.

Iconic history, reimagined

Positioned right at the heart of Manchester’s industrial heritage, the Waterhouse Gardens site was once home to Boddington’s Brewery, which was built at a time when striking red brick buildings with towering chimneys became synonymous with the city.

This distinctive Victorian Gothic Revival architecture was largely influenced by Alfred Waterhouse, one of the most celebrated architects of the Victorian era. Waterhouse was responsible for designing Manchester Town Hall and other iconic buildings that still stand tall in the city today.

A place for history-makers

Manchester is the birthplace of world-leading industries, home to innovation and first-rate education. Today, Waterhouse Gardens is located among colleges, universities and cultural venues; the places that foster Manchester’s greatness.

Adjacent to the site is Manchester College, a £100 million campus project complete with TV, radio, art, and photography studios, while nearby Chetham’s School of Music is the UK’s largest specialist music school. In addition, Manchester is home to five universities, offering outstanding higher education across a wide range of disciplines and industries.

The masterplan

Waterhouse Gardens sits at the centre of this impressive three-acre estate. Architects Assael Architecture and Studio Power have revitalised the space to create a new beginning and unlock the area’s potential.

The mixed-use development boasts 556 high- spec residential units across five towers, with an impressive array of amenities and green landscaping, making it one of the largest and most exciting regeneration projects in the city.

A new public avenue will be composed of 30,000 sq. ft of commercial space, offering a mix of shops, bars, restaurants and office space, creating a lifestyle destination for everyone to enjoy.
