Manera Apartments

This high-quality residential development has created apartments in the redundant upper floors of the empty Daisy and Tom’s toy store on Deansgate, Manchester.

The scheme created fifteen apartments of varying size on the redundant second, third and fourth floor levels of the building. Fronting Deansgate and King Street West in the centre of Manchester, the location is very desirable for city centre living with easy access to a rich variety of shops restaurants and transport connections.

Second floor apartments are single storey with those to the third-floor duplex. The internal layout of apartments takes into account the conservation area setting and aims to make minimal alteration to the external fabric of the building.

We have improved the internal layouts in comparison to an earlier scheme that was granted planning permission by adding one extra apartment without compromising floor space or communal areas. Work completed in 2013 with most apartments successfully sold off plan.
