About Ice Plant

Discover exceptional urban living at the Ice Plant, a landmark development by Northern Group situated in the heart of Ancoats Urban Village, one of Manchester's most desirable and vibrant neighbourhoods. This iconic building masterfully blends historical character with contemporary design, offering a unique residential experience. The development thoughtfully preserves the original red-brick façade of its industrial past—once an ice store for market traders and later a rehearsal space for legendary bands like The Stone Roses and Happy Mondays—while introducing modern new-build blocks connected by a stunning glass atrium.

The Ice Plant offers a diverse range of 82 generously sized apartments, including one, two, and three-bedroom layouts, catering to various lifestyles. Residents can choose between apartments that celebrate the building's heritage with exposed brickwork, high arched windows, and steel columns, or opt for sleek, modern homes with clean lines and floor-to-ceiling windows. Each apartment is finished to a high specification, designed for long-term comfort and style.

Resident amenities are designed for ultimate convenience and peace of mind:

  • Secure underground car parking with available EV charging ports
  • Dedicated, secure bicycle storage
  • On-site maintenance and management teams providing a quick and responsive service
  • Additional storage units available for rent

Perfectly positioned on Blossom Street and fronting the bustling Cutting Room Square, the Ice Plant places you at the centre of Ancoats' acclaimed food and drink scene. Enjoy immediate access to independent bars, artisan coffee shops, and renowned restaurants. The development is just a short walk from the trendy Northern Quarter, while the green spaces of Cotton Field Park and New Islington Marina are only minutes away.

Connectivity is superb, with Manchester Piccadilly and Victoria train stations both just a brief stroll away, providing mainline rail services. The city's main ring road is also easily accessible for journeys by car, and numerous bus and Metrolink services are available nearby, ensuring seamless travel across Greater Manchester and beyond. This development is ideal for professionals and couples seeking a dynamic, convenient, and culturally rich city centre lifestyle.
