SNEAK PEEK | Latest CGIs of Vita’s £191m Manchester co-living block
Main contractor Renaker is well underway on the 1,552-bed, two-tower Union, with the first block on track to complete next spring.
Located within Allied London’s £1bn St John’s district, Vita Group’s Union will offer a mixture of studio apartments and two-bed, three-bed, and four-bed clusters.
These clusters will provide each bedroom with its own ensuite bathroom, double bed, and desk space. There will be a shared kitchen for each of the clusters.
In total, there will be 151 four-bed co-living clusters, 214 three-bed ones, 30 two-bed, and 242 studios.
Amenities on offer for those residing at Union include coworking space, private dining areas, a lounge, and a gym. The ground floor of Union will also boast 4,000+ sq ft of leisure and hospitality space.

Union was designed by Denton Corker Marshall. The £191m required for the building of Union has been provided via a development loan from Cain International PGIM Real Estate, which was agreed in December 2021.
Vita Group Chief Brand Officer, David Ancell said: “Union has been specifically designed around the needs of Manchester’s workforce, the lifeblood of the city, the graduates powering our tech and creative industries, the retail and hospitality superstars, and those working in public services such as nursing.
“First and foremost, it’s been designed to be accessible, priced in line with graduate salaries, it’s also been designed to solve problems these audiences face when renting,” Ancell continued.
He added later: “We can’t wait to showcase more of Union as we edge closer to opening next year.”
