Developers EGCC and Empire have appointed Alliance Investments to market apartments within the rebranded 37-storey Vision development on Whitworth Street West.
Alliance Investments, the sales arm of Property Alliance Group, joins Jon Matthews Architects and contractor Russell WBHO on the project team.
All three firms were involved in the creation of the nearby AXIS tower, which completed in 2020.
Construction of the 327-apartment Vision, previously known as Manchester Tower, is due to begin in Q2 of this year.
Apartments within the £125m scheme, being delivered through an SPV named Featherfoot Whitworth Street, will begin at £170,000 and will benefit from a range of amenities including:
- A two-storey glass atrium
- A reception with a hotel-style concierge
- Ground floor and mezzanine coffee shop and juice bar
- Gym with separate yoga/spin studio
- Cinema room
- Residents’ lounge
- Co-working space
- Private meeting rooms.

Ronald Garrett, managing director of Alliance Investments, said: “Manchester has an undersupply of homes to meet the current levels of demand, both from homebuyers and those looking for rental properties, and we expect this to continue throughout 2022 and beyond.
“We feel Vision is perfectly suited to the vibrant Manchester market, benefitting from both an exceptional location and outstanding amenities, and are delighted to be bringing such a high-quality project to the market.”
Dean Hewart, director of EGCC Group, said: “Developing a strategic partnership with Alliance Investments for Vision is the final addition to what is already a dynamic and experienced team who will deliver this magnificent building.”
Paul Rothwell, managing director of Empire added: “The level of pre-launch interest in the project has been remarkable – this already proves our partners, Alliance Investments, are perfectly placed to effectively market the building and we are extremely pleased to be working together.”
Once work starts, the project will take three years to complete.
EGCC Group bought the site last October from Brigantes for £8.75m, as reported by Place North West.
Development funding of £78m for the 327-home project has also been agreed, according to broker Adapt Finance.
Brigantes won planning consent for the scheme in 2015 and it was then reported that Inhabit Residential was bringing the project forward but work never started.
Inhabit, run by directors of Mercer Real Estate, was dissolved in March last year, according to Companies House.

Manchester really is decades ahead of Liverpool. Once again great work Manchester! I wish my City would follow suit rather than turn every potential investor away

Agree with Anonymous. Perfect description. Some view from the train track this will be in a few years, on both sides.

Looks majestic, just what the site needs.

Some greening of that whole area wouldn’t go a miss. Grim.

DriveLtd your comment makes zero sense. What you’re thinking of is called the country side. There are city centres and there’s countryside

@Anon, go take a look at Paris and their plans on greening the city making it more eco friendly. Manchester is very poor in this realm, the mess made of delivering great ancoats improvements is a prime example.
