Westbury Homes has got the final go-ahead for Left Bank, its £80m residential waterside scheme in central Manchester. The development forms part of the £500m ‘Spinningfields’ regeneration programme (pictured).
Left Bank, Westbury’s flagship project in the regions, comprises 350 apartments, and over 2,322 sq m (25,000 sq ft) of retail, leisure, restaurant and fitness facilities.
Richard Leese, leader of Manchester council, said: “Westbury’s proposals are welcome as a major landmark in the development of the city. This scheme will provide the catalyst for future development of Spinningfields and further promote the concepts of city centre living and help meet our objectives of opening up space around the river.”
Work will start on the scheme – which will overlook the city’s river Irwell – in spring 2001.
Dunlop Heywood is joint letting agent with Jones Lang LaSalle for Spinningfields.
