We are passionate about creating thriving communities.
Whether we are regenerating Ancoats with partners, restoring historic mills or providing incredible homes to rent and space for local businesses, we believe in doing things better.
The heart-warming event of the season returns for its second year to bring festive magic to our wonderful city!
The Manchester Christmas Parade will start at 1pm on Sunday 3rd December. Come together with family and friends to watch the Christmas Parade weave its way through the city centre and enjoy a day out at the Christmas Markets. A wonderful place to embrace the festive spirit ✨

We are partnered with @mcrfoodbank and will be supporting their Reverse Advent Calendar campaign this Christmas 🎄 Please continue to place your generous donations into the boxes located in the reception areas of each of our residences.
All donations will go towards supporting families facing financial hardship this winter.
Follow @mcrfoodbank to see which items are greatly needed, they are posting a specific one everyday 😊
= four years of beautiful, pet-friendly, marina-side living.
Completed in 2019, Weavers Quay was the fifth and final rental community to welcome residents in phase two of our Ancoats and New Islington regeneration project.
Designed by @buttressarchitects to create a development of 201 homes with a selection of amenities and communal spaces that complimented and responded to its uniquely tranquil location alongside New Islington marina.
This year @mcrlifeuk are taking part in @trusselltrust’s reverse advent calendar campaign!
The idea is that everyday of advent people donate an item to the charity for people who wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford the basics during Christmas time.
The donation boxes can be found in your building lobbies. If you are struggling to know what to donate here is some inspiration: ❄️Tea and Coffee ❄️Biscuits and Sweet Treats ❄️Juice ❄️Tinned Goods (such as fruit, fish and meat)
As today is #givingtuesday it would be a great opportunity to give back to the community.
