Case Study: Victoria House, Piccadilly East, Manchester

Victoria House is an elegant new development in Manchester’s Piccadilly East neighbourhood which rises above the surrounding area and makes a striking impression on the city’s skyline. 

Comprising 177 apartments across 25 stories and designed by Simpson Haugh Architects, this is more than just a building – it is a fully-realised residential experience that puts this part of Manchester on the map. It is a yardstick for residential quality and concept that complements the area and sets the tone for future developments in this up-and-coming district. 

The building is a joint venture project between Salboy and Forshaw which showcases the strengths of both developers. The end product is an impressive new residential development in an area where luxury accommodation is in high demand.

Reminders of the city’s industrious past can be seen everywhere in Piccadilly East and the popular nearby Ancoats area. A sensitive, intelligent design ethos incorporates this rich heritage and updates it for the 21st century, including the building’s façade which echoes the nearby mill and factory infrastructure that is so distinctive and quintessentially Manchester.  

Inspired by that history, Victoria House is designed to contribute to Manchester’s future and make the nearby neighbourhood a place which offers more to residents than it did before the building was there. 

A picturesque community garden has been created on the ground floor of the development, adding much-needed green space to a part of Manchester that is desperately lacking in such spaces. Additionally, a rooftop terrace is included for residents which offers stunning, unobstructed views of the city and surrounding countryside.

At street level, retail units have been included to make sure that Victoria House is not closed off from the community. Instead, it is designed to be a place where people can interact, shop and spend time. 

As the Piccadilly East neighbourhood continues to grow and evolve, we are confident that Victoria House will continue to provide a first-class residential lifestyle that combines the best of the local heritage with a modern, thoughtful take on what city dwelling can be in modern Manchester.
