MCAU

The Silk Street Manchester project reimagines affordable housing with a focus on sustainability, community, and a connection to the city’s rich industrial heritage. By transforming a brownfield site overlooking the Rochdale Canal, we are building more than just homes; we are weaving a tapestry of green living, social connection, and economic opportunity.

Botany Bay Business Park is a major regeneration project transforming the historic 21‑acre site at Junction 8 of the M61 in Chorley into a contemporary employment destination.

The scheme marks a decisive shift away from earlier retail‑led proposals, responding instead to clear market demand for high‑quality industrial and commercial space in the North West.

The masterplan delivers 33 flexible units totalling 405,000 sq ft, ranging from light industrial accommodation to large‑format commercial buildings. The layout has been carefully designed to sit comfortably alongside the site’s iconic mill building, balancing modern logistics requirements with sensitivity to its heritage setting.

With a strong focus on sustainability, connectivity and long‑term adaptability, the development addresses a critical shortage of well‑located employment space while supporting the region’s growing logistics and manufacturing sectors.
