Summary:
- RG Real Estate has launched a public consultation on plans to redevelop the vacant Charles Street Car Park in Manchester city centre into a student accommodation scheme with approximately 1,041 study bedrooms, including studios and six-bed cluster apartments.
- The development forms part of the Sister innovation district, a joint venture between Bruntwood SciTech and The University of Manchester, aiming to transform the former North Campus into a mixed-use hub for innovation, living, and collaboration, anchored by the recently opened Renold Innovation Hub.
- Designed by Hodder + Partners, the project includes amenity spaces, flexible commercial units, and public realm improvements such as Princess Square, enhancing the district’s connectivity and supporting increased footfall and local business vitality near key university campuses.
