Planned new homes in Manchester unveiled at MIPIM

A selection of new homes in Manchester which are to be built as part of the £800m regeneration of centre of the city.

The Co-operative Group unveiled its plans for the NOMA project at MIPIM in Cannes last week. The mixed-use city centre redevelopment, designed to transform Manchester's Northern Gateway into a contemporary district, will feature a selection of new homes, office, retail, and leisure space.

The project is being constructed on land owned by The Co-operative Group, which is seeking potential joint venture partners for the 10 to 15 year development programme.

Speaking at MIPIM, Martyn Hulme, managing director of The Co-operative Estates, said: Manchester is a great place to live and work with an innovative commercial community; however, like most cities it has suffered disappointment as the downturn in the economy has affected many developments across the city. The Co-operative Group has the strength and capability to deliver NOMA and confirm Manchester's position as the UK's original modern city, and confirm its position in the European premier league of cities.

"NOMA will be a city district like no other. Firstly because it is rooted in Manchester - the UK's second city and one that is growing in strength as a centre for key industries like media and financial services. Secondly, it has been built on a socially responsible vision which will encompass ethical business practice in the way in which it is built and operated, thanks in large part to the heritage and progressive approach of the Group."
