Mayfield scheme will also include office blocks
Landsec U&I has submitted plans for the first phase of homes at its £1.4bn Mayfield development next door to Manchester Piccadilly train station.
A total of 879 homes are included in the plans for Mayfield Park alongside shops, restaurants, cafés, a health and wellbeing club and community spaces.
The scheme has been designed by architects Studio Egret West and Shedkm with other parts of the first phase of the development including 325,000 sq ft of office space across two buildings and a cycle park with space for hundreds of bikes.
A viability appraisal will be assessed to determine what proportion of the 879 homes will be for affordable tenures. However Landsec has said its ambition is to deliver 20% for affordable tenures across the scheme.
The wider Mayfield Park scheme, developed by Landsec U&I in partnership with Manchester City Council, Transport for Greater Manchester and LCR, is expected to deliver 1,500 homes.
Mike Hood, chief executive of Landsec U&I, said: “Our ambition for Mayfield is to create a diverse, green, world-class place where everyone feels welcome – whether that’s to live, work or visit. Since opening the park in 2022, we’ve been on a mission to continue to grow it across the 24-acre masterplan.
“The major expansion of green space and the first homes alongside workplaces at Mayfield are all extremely exciting. It’s easy to forget much of this part of town was disused, derelict land just a few years ago.”
Last month, Landsec said it is planning to expand further into housing development and would be scaling back the amount of office work it carries out in the future, having unveiled plans for a £2bn sell-off of parts of its office-led assets.
