In less than two years, the 21-year regeneration of the Manchester district will be complete.
The transformation by developer Urban Splash of the former Cardroom Estate into the trendy New Islington neighbourhood has been a long one. Working with housing association Great Places, Homes England and Manchester City Council, Urban Splash has overseen the development of the community by creating a marina, school, medical centre and numerous homes.
In 2023, its final phase of townhouses and apartments will cross the finish line.
New Islington highlights: New Islington Medical Practice (2007), Cotton Field Park (2008), Chips (2010), New Islington Marina (2011), New Islington Free School (2015), Stubbs Mill (2016)

Having been confined to our homes for the best part of a year, most people have seemingly adapted to this new way of life.

The local authority has opened the second stage of consultation for a new walking and cycling route through neighbourhoods north and east of the city centre.
The city council said it has designed the new continuous route to serve as an active travel link between Ancoats, New Islington, New Cross, New Town, Red Bank, the Green Quarter and city centre.
The proposals, viewable in full online and open to consultation until Wednesday 17 March, will create new crossings to overcome local barriers for people travelling on foot and by bike, such as the River Irk, Ashton Canal and railway viaducts.
