The developer has split its operations into two divisions, commercial and residential, and appointed Simon Gallanders as managing director of the latter.
Gallanders has joined Cole Waterhouse Residential from Real Estate Investment Partnerships, where he spent the last 12 years.
REIP, the firm behind the controversial Warp & Weft scheme in Manchester’s Northern Quarter, is Cole Waterhouse’s sister company.
Both the commercial and residential elements of Cole Waterhouse’s operations are ultimately led by chief executive Damian Flood, executive director Greg Ritchie and chief operating officer Rod Priestley.
There are plans in place to structure the commercial side of the business in a similar way to the residential arm but no managing director has been appointed as of yet, the company said.

The contractor will start the demolition of a vacant office building on the site in the new year, paving the way for the construction of developer Cole Waterhouse’s 28-storey Salford apartment block.
The main phase of construction of the 290-apartment development, next to Anchorage tram stop in Salford Quays, will begin in May and completion is scheduled for July 2023, according to a construction management statement prepared by Domis.
Architect Chapman Taylor designed the L-shaped development, which features 4,000 sq ft of commercial space as well as public realm.
There will be two landscaped terrace gardens for residents, on the mezzanine and at level 19. The rooftop penthouse apartments will have private terraces.
