Baker Place Nears Completion

Our apartment buildings at Baker Place for One Manchester are beginning to appear from behind the site hoarding.

The site sits in the Hulme area of Manchester, to the South Western edge of the city, and approximately one mile from the city centre. To the east of the site sits the edges of the ‘Hulme City Challenge’ neighbourhood, promoted in the 1990s by Michael Hessletine in response to the demolition of the 1960s system built estate that previously occupied this area. OMI played a significant role in bringing family housing back to Hulme as part of City Challenge and many of the design principles established by OMI back then have since become best practice for urban masterplanning.

The development consists of a total of 67no. 2 bedroom apartments arranged around a communal landscaped courtyard and parking area. The accommodation is split into three individual blocks of 4 and 3 storeys, with a main development concierge entrance at the base of block one.

The project has protected and retained a high number of mature trees, which form a great backdrop to the new development.
