Developer Allied London is holding a consultation event inviting local residents to share their thoughts on the future of St. John’s which will include up to three hotels, The Factory theatre and other performance venues, and up to 2,500 new apartments within what’s described as ‘elegant towers fronting the River Irwell.’

Allied London says: “The St. John’s team continues to take all feedback it receives on board and has been working hard over the past two years to develop a masterplan that will guide the future development of this neighbourhood.

“The forthcoming planning submission is a culmination of this work and sets out Allied London’s vision for a new place to live, work and play; a place for future enterprise and innovation; and for culture, entertainment and leisure.”

The three-day showcase of the plans it will submit to Manchester council for St John’s starts today. Allied aims to start work on St John’s in mid-2016.
