The Water Street area presents an opportunity to develop a neighbourhood that will both complement adjacent neighbourhoods and offer a significant contribution to the continued economic growth of the city centre. The regeneration framework for the Water Street area sets out the vision to develop a sustainable mixed used neighbourhood which encompasses residential accommodation, office space and retail units, and new public realm that utilises the area’s riverside location. Developing the Water Street area will improve the connectivity and linkages with surrounding neighbourhoods, including Castlefield and St John’s and Spinningfields.
