Zephyr X submits plans for major build-to-rent residential development

Plans have been lodged for an exciting new multi-million-pound sustainable build-to-rent (BTR) development in Manchester.

Property investment and development company Zephyr X has submitted proposals to Manchester City Council for a 23-storey residential scheme at the corner of Carnarvon Street and Cheetham Hill Road in the city centre.

The proposals by Zephyr X, which has extensive experience and expertise in property development and ownership, include 237 one and two-bedroom apartments and a ground floor commercial unit.

Construction of the design-conscious development of new homes for rent on land bound by Cheetham Hill Road, Carnarvon Street and Gibson Place could begin later this year once planning consent is achieved.

The building has been designed by award-winning Manchester-based architects Hawkins\Brown. It will provide an elegant and composed addition to the Manchester skyline, complementing the cluster of new buildings emerging around the Great Ducie Street, Green Quarter and Red Bank area.

Zephyr X, with a particular focus on BTR and healthcare facilities, leads the way in creating beautiful, state-of-the-art spaces that integrate the latest technology with cutting-edge design, enabling people to live their best lives.

Graham Haydon-White, managing director at Zephyr X, said: “We have taken the next exciting step on our journey to deliver a fantastic new residential development at Cheetham Hill Road by submitting a detailed planning application following our consultation with local stakeholders.

“Our proposals offer an exciting opportunity to support the ongoing regeneration of this increasingly vibrant corner of Manchester and to help meet the established demand for high-quality accommodation in the city centre.”

He added: “Being just a 10-minute walk from Victoria Station, with easy accessibility to additional public transport, this is an exceptionally sustainable location for our new build-to-rent development.”
