The construction of Angel Gardens will soon be complete on a hugely important gateway site to the City of Manchester which was once home to an eighteenth Century cotton mill built by Richard Arkwright. The  development for MODA Living extends to 530,000sq.ft including two levels of underground parking offering 149 car spaces. At ground floor level, 19,000sq.ft of commercial restaurants and cafés will activate the street frontages and a new pedestrian street has been created from Miller Street to Angel Street providing quality public realm faced with commercial units.

The development comprises 4 distinct volumes arranged in a pinwheel plan: a 35-storey tower addressing the key intersection between Miller Street / Rochdale Road / Swan Street / Shudhill; and three 7 storey blocks addressing Miller Street, Angel Street and Angel Mews. The 7-storey block fronting Miller Street has a single storey extension of the external façade system to enclose the rooftop resident amenity facilities. 

The architectural designs for Angel Gardens were developed in partnership with Glasgow-based practice HAUS Collective. Fuse started work on the project in April 2014. 

Caddick Construction has been responsible for the build.
