We are pleased to announce our first acquisition under the newly launched Zentra Living brand.

Zentra has entered into a conditional contract to acquire a prime parcel of land on Old Mill Street, Manchester. This marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter as we expand our commitment to delivering vibrant, design-led residential apartments tailored for urban professionals.

About the Site & Development Plans

Located within the heart of Manchester’s New Islington, this 0.18-acre site has been used as a car park in recent years but has a rich history—previously housing a rectory until the 1960s. The area has undergone significant regeneration, transforming into a thriving community of homes, workspaces, a marina, restaurants, and bars.

The site is just a 2-minute walk from New Islington tram stop, offering excellent connectivity to Manchester city centre and beyond.

The site has planning permission for:
–  A six-storey apartment block with 40 high-quality residential units (20 one-bedroom & 20 two-bedroom apartments)
–  A ground-floor commercial space, adding to the vibrancy of the area

Jason Upton, CEO of Zentra Group PLC, commented:
“We are excited to announce this acquisition, which is our first under the Zentra Living brand. The New Islington area is a great example of urban regeneration done exceptionally well, and this site provides an excellent opportunity to deliver high-quality, design-led homes in a vibrant and desirable location. Zentra remains committed to playing a key role in creating sustainable and thriving communities while addressing the demand for modern, well-connected urban housing.”
