Howard Lord, Managing Director of CERT property, said: “The area between Collyhurst and Manchester City centre is entering a transformative period with significant investment and regeneration underway as part of the “Northern Gateway”. Osborne Yard aims to be a leading residential offer in the area and we have done our utmost to be respectful of the historical context and the surrounding neighbourhood. We want the development to be a landmark of “what’s next, starts here” for the surrounding area.”
The development boast plans for a combination of generous outdoor space, bold interiors and innovative carbon reduction technology. Osborne Yard aims to set a new standard for residential development within the Northern Gateway, acting as a catalyst for future development along Oldham Road.
