Gary Neville's property development vehicle has confirmed its involvement in a fresh proposal for high-density flats in central Manchester, a scheme that has already drawn objections from local residents and heritage campaigners over its scale and design. The move extends the former footballer-turned-developer's growing footprint in the city, following his high-profile and often turbulent experience with the St Michael's tower project, which spent years mired in planning appeals before eventually reaching completion in a scaled-back form. This latest venture signals that, despite the reputational and regulatory friction of previous schemes, Neville's firm continues to see Manchester's residential market as fertile ground for high-rise investment.
