St John’s Waterside is a key new address in Manchester, uniquely positioned to blend the energy of the city with refined riverside living.

Situated on the banks of the River Irwell, the location offers residents the best of both worlds: immediate city centre access and the calming benefits of waterside tranquillity. With St John’s Culture & Enterprise Quarter just a 1-minute walk away - home to leading cultural and commercial institutions including Aviva Studios, Booking.com, Campfield and Soho House - and Spinningfields (Manchester’s Central Business District) only 6 minutes on foot, West Gate occupies a prime location defined by quality, balance and connectivity.

Shaping Manchester’s new riverfront address

St John’s Waterside offers over 90 metres of direct riverside frontage, establishing a defining link to the water. This is enhanced by 1.65 acres of new public green space, providing residents and visitors with valuable open space and pathways along the Irwell, fostering a welcoming destination for the wider community.
