One Medlock Street, Manchester


Status: CURRENT
Category: Student Accommodation / Co-living
Value: £106M
Client: Greystar

Forming part of the site redevelopment of a former hotel, the impressive One Medlock Street scheme will deliver an exceptional student accommodation facility for Greystar.

The scheme will be delivered under the Building Safety Act (2022), requiring a proactive and collaborative approach with the client to gather and provide all relevant information for the regulator.

Successfully achieving regulatory approval at Gateway Stage 2 in May 2025, the project is being delivered to the highest safety, sustainability and quality standards.

Located in the heart of Manchester city centre, the development will provide 1014 student bedrooms alongside gym, amenity facilities, communal areas, and a roof terrace.

An allocation of office and community spaces will be incorporated at ground floor level.

Spanning 38 storeys, the bespoke PBSA facility will provide a much-needed accommodation solution for the city’s large student population.

A logistically challenging development, the tower is being delivered as an RC frame complimented by modern solutions including a unitised façade and prefabricated bathroom pods.

The completed scheme will achieve BREEAM ‘Very Good’ and an EPC ‘A’ rating.
