New life is being breathed into the treasured buildings of industrial Ancoats on the eastern edge of Manchester city centre.
The verve, spirit and mixed-use milieu of the world’s first industrial suburb is being re-injected to create the Ancoats Urban Village - of which Royal Mills is a flagship development.
A conservation area under consideration for World Heritage Site status, Ancoats is rich in architectural heritage. The magnificent Royal Mills, overlooking the Rochdale canal, is to be rejuvenated and complemented by a series of imaginative new buildings creating a bustling, canalside community.
A self-contained district with a distinctive character and vitality, Royal Mills will offer a vibrant mix of residential, cultural and business facilities, including 312 stylish apartments, a variety of retail outlets, cafes, bars and restaurants, business units, office space and meeting rooms.
Attractive public spaces, arcades, roof gardens, a stunning, glazed atrium and underground facilities are just some of the other features that will make Royal Mills an irresistibly appealing location for residents, visitors and businesses alike.
