Muse Developments, in partnership with Network Rail, has submitted plans to bring forward proposals for a £185m mixed-use development in Manchester city centre, adjacent to the recently redeveloped Victoria station.

The proposed development, on a 2.5-acre site on Corporation Street, which is currently a surface level car park, will feature three new buildings, a 150,000 sq ft eight-storey office building, plus two residential buildings.

David Burkinshaw, development director at Muse, said: "This is an exciting time for this area of Manchester as a number of key developments are coming to fruition. New Victoria presents a unique opportunity to deliver a landmark development next to the city centre's prime leisure and retail attractions and one of the North West's main transport hubs. New Victoria offers an unparalleled location and an outstanding development opportunity."

The 20 and 25 storey residential buildings will deliver up to 520 one, two and three bedroom apartments and includes amenity space will include a gym, 24-hour concierge, communal residents' lounge, cycle storage and a roof garden. Both buildings will be delivered alongside high quality public space, landscaping and car parking.

Tim Dickinson, Head of Residential at Network Rail, said: "Network Rail's £44m investment at Manchester Victoria station has clearly provided a major catalyst for wider regeneration in the city, delivering much-needed jobs, homes and development opportunities. This deal with Muse will support Network Rail's commitment to unlock land for housing while generating income to be reinvested back into the railway."
