MIPIM: Manchester city council has endorsed developer Allied London’s framework for the strategic regeneration of the 13.5-acre former ITV Granada Studios site.
Allied London chief executive Michael Ingall said he planned to build Manchester’s first “vertical village” at the site, with commercial, retail, leisure, green spaces and homes in the same structures.
“St John’s will turn the perceptions of city centre living on its head and will become a place that’s diverse, distinctive and unique.
“It’s an exciting opportunity for Manchester, for the families that want to live in the city and for the exciting start-up tech and digital businesses starting to flourish.
“It will also transform the balance of the region’s economy, providing a unique base for visitors to enjoy and share in the city’s culture and heritage.”
