About Waterhouse Gardens
Waterhouse Gardens.
Dutton Street, Manchester, M3 1LE
A neighbourhood infused with Manchester’s vibrant spirit
A place to live, eat, drink, shop, work and play
A commanding new landmark, Waterhouse Gardens is named after one of the most acclaimed figures of Victorian architecture, Alfred Waterhouse. Celebrated for combining complex design with functionality, Waterhouse’s works and his approach remain an inspiration for modern-day place makers almost 150 years later.
For the first time, this historic area is to become a coveted home address. A community of high-spec apartments, duplexes and penthouses are coupled with a private clubhouse offering high-end amenities and services to residents.
This residential-led development is surrounded by landscaped public spaces, boutique traders and independent eateries creating a new, energetic avenue.
A gateway development, Waterhouse Gardens is situated a short distance from central Manchester- connecting the popular Greengate and N.O.M.A neighbourhoods with the historic Medieval Quarter.
Iconic history, reimagined
Positioned right at the heart of Manchester’s industrial heritage, the Waterhouse Gardens site was once home to Boddington’s Brewery, which was built at a time when striking red brick buildings with towering chimneys became synonymous with the city.
This distinctive Victorian Gothic Revival architecture was largely influenced by Alfred Waterhouse, one of the most celebrated architects of the Victorian era. Waterhouse was responsible for designing Manchester Town Hall and other iconic buildings that still stand tall in the city today.
Along with the creation of Manchester’s public buildings, Waterhouse designed London’s Natural History Museum, and a number of well-known ‘red brick’university buildings across the country, including those found at Oxford and Cambridge and what became Liverpool, Manchester
and Leeds universities.
Inspired by Alfred Waterhouse, Waterhouse Gardens is a place where the city’s enduring spirit and future-facing design meet.
A place for history-makers
Manchester is the birthplace of world-leading industries, home to innovation and first-rate education. Today, Waterhouse Gardens is located among colleges, universities and cultural venues; the places that foster Manchester’s greatness.
Adjacent to the site is Manchester College, a £100 million campus project complete with TV, radio, art, and photography studios, while nearby Chetham’s School of Music is the UK’s largest specialist music school. In addition, Manchester is home to five universities, offering outstanding higher education across a wide range of disciplines and industries.

Manchester’s next wave of regeneration
As one of the largest and most exciting regeneration projects in the city, Waterhouse Gardens will reinvigorate the former Boddington Brewery site, setting a pace for change as championed within the highly anticipated Great Ducie Street Regeneration Masterplan. The masterplan aims to connect the city and transform an under-used area into a mixed-use neighbourhood with a strong sense of community.
It is envisioned that this major project will strike a balance between commercial, educational and residential opportunities.
It is the success of multi-faceted regeneration projects such as this that have underpinned growth and redefined Manchester. Following the triumph of regeneration, Manchester is the fastest growing city region, outside of London.
