Spread across 15 acres, the project has been planned to offer a new neighbourhood for living, enterprise and culture.

Allied London recently submitted plans for the final phases of development, which included provisions for St John’s Place, The Villages, The Riverside, and Manchester’s first vertical village, Trinity Islands.

"Trinity Islands will be the first vertical village in the city, providing 1,200 homes within six inter-connecting residential towers."

Refurbishment designs submitted in June covered the Bonded Warehouse and conversion of the old ITV studio headquarters building into an event hotel called the Manchester Grande.
