PH Property wants to bring a site off Great John Street in the city centre back into residential use for the first time since the mid-twentieth century.
The developer is progressing plans for 21 three-bed townhouses on a site next to the city’s Science and Industry Museum that was once home to terraced housing.
More recently home to the former Breeze Studios within the Granada estate, the plot could now be returned to residential use under plans designed by Jeffrey Bell Architects.
PH has launched a pre-planning consultation on the proposals.
Surrounding an internal courtyard, the homes would front Great John Street, Lower Byrom Street, Grape Street, and Atherton Street and would “re-establish the site’s historic street layout”, according to PH.
Each house would have a basement parking space and a roof terrace.
PH is also behind plans to convert the Equitable Buildings off St Anns Square in Manchester into apartments.
Danny Gale, land director at PH Property Holdings, said: “We are excited to bring our experience of delivering premium, design-led homes to this unique site in Manchester city centre.
“Our ambition is to create a high-quality, sensitive development that complements its historic surroundings and provides new family housing in a sustainable and vibrant location.”
Asteer Planning, Tyler Grange, Dunham Ecology, and Counter Context make up the project team.
