Established in 2006, Renaker is now firmly recognised as Manchester’s leading developer with a proven track record of delivering sustainable, high-quality developments at pace.
We have successfully delivered over 8,500 new homes to date.
We build more than residential skyscrapers, we build neighbourhoods.
Currently, we are developing three major new neighbourhoods located at key strategic gateways across Manchester City Centre and Salford: ‘New Jackson’ near Deansgate, ‘Colliers Yard’ in Greengate, and ‘Trinity Island’ located on the bank of the River Irwell.
As the majority landowner in each location, we are leading the transformation in creating these new city centre districts.
We focus on city centre brownfield regeneration, efficiently delivering spacious, high-quality homes with desirable amenities, whilst creating aspirational new neighbourhoods, enabling people to live and thrive.
Professional, straightforward and honest in our approach, we are collaborative with all our stakeholders in the local community. This helps us to build successful and sustainable communities for the long term.
Our four values underpin everything we do:
LAND ACQUISITION
We identify and secure strategic sites in prime Manchester city centre locations with strong long-term growth potential. Our decisions are underpinned by market intelligence, demographic insight, and rigorous financial appraisal to ensure each land opportunity delivers maximum value for stakeholders.
PLANNING & CONSULTATION
We work collaboratively with local authorities, stakeholders and communities to shape proposals aligned with planning policy and the needs of the local area. Our proactive approach results in well-considered neighbourhoods that contribute positively to the built environment and local economy.
DESIGN & ARCHITECTURE
Partnering with award-winning architects and design specialists, we create high-quality, sustainable homes within long-lasting neighbourhoods, enriched by amenities and public realm that meet the needs of modern city living. Every scheme is thoughtfully designed to optimise space, wellbeing, community connection and long-term asset value.
CONSTRUCTION & DELIVERY
Our in-house construction expertise ensures exceptional standards, efficient delivery and meticulous attention to detail at every stage. With full control of the construction process, we maintain programme, quality and cost certainty from start to completion.
A safety-first culture underpins everything we do, with robust procedures and continual monitoring to ensure safe working environments for our teams, partners and communities.
We apply rigorous quality control throughout the construction lifecycle, with clear benchmarks and regular inspections to ensure every home meets Renaker’s exacting standards.
We invest in the next generation through apprenticeships, skills development and on-site training, supporting local employment and building capability across the construction sector.
Our developments integrate sustainable materials, energy-efficient systems and low-carbon design solutions, supporting environmental resilience and long-term operational efficiency.
SALES & MARKETING
Our in-house Sales team provides a warm and informative experience from first enquiry through to move-in. From your initial visit to the marketing suite, our Sales team is here to welcome you, guide you and provide clear, honest information to support your home-buying journey.

CUSTOMER AFTERCARE
Our commitment continues beyond completion, with a dedicated Aftercare team providing ongoing support to residents. We ensure a smooth handover with clear communication and offer in-house Customer Care for the first two years, addressing any legitimate issues swiftly and professionally. We are proud that, generally, we have no issues to be addressed, but nonetheless believe that this service provides comfort to our customers and delivers exceptional customer satisfaction.
With a wealth of in-house talent and a full end-to-end capability, we control every stage of the development lifecycle - from land acquisition, planning, development, and design through to construction, sales & marketing, and customer aftercare.
From the point of conception, Renaker aims to create places that enhance the lives of those who choose to make them their home.
We focus on how our customers use the amenities and wider development spaces, taking learnings for our future developments.
As the use of spaces changes over time, we remain sensitive to this evolution. We aim to evolve our amenity offerings in each development, providing unique spaces designed to surprise and delight residents.
