The plans for 53 new apartments have been approved
An abandoned canal office in Manchester city centre is set to be turned into flats. The plans to convert Bridgewater House, a Grade-II listed former canal office next to Deansgate Square in Great Jackson Street, have been approved.
The £13m project includes building a new four-storey apartment block. The developer, which has recently refurbished another listed building in Princess Street, considered several options for the future of the building - including commercial space and a hotel - but settled on this scheme of 53 apartments.The plans involve partially demolishing boundary walls to make way for the 33 new build apartments to be constructed where the car park currently stands.
A Manchester council report confirms the developer would not contribute to affordable housing elsewhere in the city as part of the plans. But the report also recommends entering a legal agreement which would require the developer to contribute to affordable housing if market conditions improve.
