In less than two years, the 21-year regeneration of the Manchester district will be complete.
The transformation by developer Urban Splash of the former Cardroom Estate into the trendy New Islington neighbourhood has been a long one. Working with housing association Great Places, Homes England and Manchester City Council, Urban Splash has overseen the development of the community by creating a marina, school, medical centre and numerous homes.
In 2023, its final phase of townhouses and apartments will cross the finish line.
New Islington highlights: New Islington Medical Practice (2007), Cotton Field Park (2008), Chips (2010), New Islington Marina (2011), New Islington Free School (2015), Stubbs Mill (2016)
