Hundreds of city centre apartments eyed for area slightly bigger than football penalty area
Hundreds of city centre flats could be built on land less than half the size of a football pitch, according to estate agents. A parcel of land just 0.23 acres large is up for sale on Commercial Street, next to some of the city's tallest buildings at Deansgate Square. It is being sold with 'indicative proposals' for an apartment block. But the most eye-catching detail in plans created by architects SimpsonHaugh is how many flats may be squeezed into the quarter-acre site: 200.

Never miss a story with the MEN's daily Catch Up newsletter - get it in your inbox by signing up here The 'designs to develop a 200-unit, luxury apartment scheme' will 'reflect the area's rich industrial heritage while offering contemporary, high specification living', with a range of one- and two-bedroom flats with amenities and a rooftop terrace, estate agents CBRE said. The plot, with 'vacant office and residential accommodation', boasts riverside views of the River Medlock nearby, and is just a short walk from the Deansgate railway and Deansgate-Castlefield Metrolink stations, plus a host of bars and restaurants. That makes it an ideal spot for city centre apartments, CBRE added. 'This is a truly exceptional opportunity to deliver luxury living in one of Manchester city centre's most exciting and affluent neighbourhoods,' said Kieran McLaughlin, senior director. 'With its riverside setting, proximity to the best of Manchester's offering, Riverside is perfectly positioned to meet the growing demand for high-quality urban living.' A planning application confirming final details of a scheme has yet to be finalised, meaning development will likely not start for years. But regardless of the final details of the Commercial Street scheme, hundreds more people are set to move into this part of Deansgate. Renaker is currently constructing a 51-storey tower on the other side of the River Medlock with its 494-flat Contour scheme, and has planning permission to build a new 71-storey, 213m tower called Plot D containing 642 apartments, which would overtake Deansgate Square South Tower as Manchester's tallest building.
