WEAVERS QUAY 

= 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. 

What four years it has been!

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: 
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. 
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
