Victoria Riverside marks the first phase of Victoria North (previously Manchester's Northern Gateway), the biggest renewal project Manchester’s ever seen. Jointly developed and funded by FEC and Manchester City Council, Victoria North is set to create 15,000 new homes across 155 hectares and seven neighbourhoods over the next 20 years, helping with the shortfall in housing in Manchester.
The redevelopment project will create better-connected public spaces, new and improved transport links, and more homes, parks and retail spaces for the city’s growing population. At the heart of the regeneration is the new City River Park which covers 46 ha of new and improved parkland. The first phase covering St Catherine’s Wood and the River Irk will be delivered utilising HIF investment by 2024 in line with anticipated completion of the Victoria Riverside scheme. Victoria Riverside is at the forefront of the new, distinct residential neighbourhood at Red Bank and New Town, benetting from its location within Manchester City Centre, but offering something new to its community.
