Landsec has filed plans for the first phase of housing at its £1.4bn Mayfield regeneration scheme in Manchester.

The first residential buildings, set across four blocks linked in pairs, each contain a low-rise element and taller tower

Designed jointly by architects Studio Egret West and shedkm, the first 879 homes will be built over four blocks around a new park square, near Manchester Piccadilly Station

If approved, the flats will complete the first built phase of the Mayfield district, which also includes 325,000 sq ft of office space across two buildings, and a multi-modal transport hub featuring the city’s biggest cycle park with space for hundreds of bicycles.

Mike Hood, on behalf of Landsec, said: “Our ambition for Mayfield is to create a diverse, green, world-class place where everyone feels welcome – whether that’s to live, work or visit. Since opening the park in 2022, we’ve been on a mission to continue to grow it across the 24-acre masterplan. The major expansion of green space and the first homes alongside workplaces at Mayfield are all extremely exciting. It’s easy to forget much of this part of town was disused, derelict land just a few years ago.

“We look forward to continue to shape Mayfield’s future alongside our partners and hand in hand with local residents.”

The planning submission follows Landsec’s announcement that Mayfield’s first office building, Republic (230,000 sq ft of office space), designed by Morris + Company, will start on site in 2025.

The second office building, The Poulton (95,000 sq ft of office space), designed by Bennetts Associates, and a multi-modal transport hub featuring the city’s biggest cycle parking hub, designed by Studio Egret West will follow shortly after.
