Kingsgate House, King St is an Insider NW Resi Finalist

We’re excited to share that our Kingsgate House project has been shortlisted in the ‘Apartment Development of the Year’ category at the Insider North West Residential Property Awards 2025.

The prestigious awards ceremony will take place on 23 January 2025 and will showcase the companies, schemes and deals that have raised the bar in the residential property sector over the past year.

Kingsgate House is a 24,000 sq ft development spanning three properties – one of which is Grade II Listed – on Manchester’s iconic King Street. Together, our team have successfully restored and converted the buildings from office and residential use into 24, luxury one- and two-bedroom apartments and duplexes. The design has carefully reconfigured the properties to retain the main building fabric and key historical features, whilst crafting modern apartments befitting the BTR market. Each home features high-quality fixtures, fittings, and bespoke internal layouts that capitalise on the building’s unique characteristics.

Kingsgate sets a precedent for what’s possible when undertaking the change of use of a building. The properties had undergone varying levels of modification and modernisation in the preceding years but, through a viable change of use, we’ve been able to transform the structures, restore many of the original features, enhance the street scene and create much need housing for Manchester and it’s residents. It’s great to now see the team’s hard work rewarded in this way.

The wider project team on the King Street project includes DTZ Investors (Asset Mangers) RECOM Solutions (Main Contractor), Cogent BC (Projects Managers), Urban Bubble (Property Managers), Savills (Planning Consultants) and Gateley Vinden (Surveyors).

In addition to being shortlisted, we’re also proud to be sponsoring the Urban and City Living Developer of the Year Award which we’ll give away to one of the finalists – City Heart, Downing, Muse, Salboy or Step Places – on the night. View the full list of finalists here.
