Commercial or education space totalling 1m sq ft and a 300,000 sq ft student accommodation scheme feature in the Manchester masterplan being readied by investors Brookfield, Logik Developments and McLaren Property.
Site assembly for the £200m masterplan began with Logik’s acquisition of the former Citroen garage opposite the University of Manchester’s Henry Royce Institute on Upper Brook Street, which runs parallel to Oxford Road.
Alongside its joint venture partners, Logik, headed up by former England cricketer Andrew Flintoff, is in talks to acquire “adjoining sites in the area to bring forward the masterplan vision”.
The proposed student accommodation scheme would be operated by Student Roost, a subsidiary of Brookfield. The JV aims to complete the project between 2023 and 2025.
In February, Ipswich Borough Council granted full planning permission.
