A new 167-home residential neighbourhood in the centre of Bolton will be completed this month. The first residents have moved in at Deansgate Gardens, a £35m development which will offer ‘long-term rental homes’.
Placefirst’s new development has rooftop terraces, gardens and communal spaces and will also open up a section of the river Croal to the public.
The new blocks and townhouses, opposite the former Beales department store, have been described by developers Placefirst as a ‘stunning new residential neighbourhood of 167 homes, designed to meet the demands of modern renters’.

Placefirst said it is their most sustainable development to date, built with a focus on reducing environmental impact, featuring rooftop solar panels, heat pumps and enhanced insulation, which help lower energy bills.
The neighbourhood has a central square and communal courtyards.
