Horizon – Construction Update Q3 2026
Q3 2026
We are delighted to share the first official pre-construction update for Horizon. The next exciting landmark for Legacie Developments and RW Invest.
Located in a prime position on Talbot Road, Horizon benefits from its proximity to Manchester United, Old Trafford Cricket Ground and Manchester city centre, placing residents within one of Manchester’s most recognisable and well connected areas.
Formerly known as Oakland House, the building has been an established office address for decades. It is now entering an entirely new chapter as Horizon. A premium collection of luxury apartments complemented by a five-star spa and high-quality resident amenities.
The focus has been on the important first stage of this transformation, preparing the existing building for its new purpose, removing the former office infrastructure, opening the building and creating the space required for its new residential layouts, services and luxury amenities.
required for Horizon’s new residential layouts, services and amenities.
Progress Highlights
- Preparing the Building
The first phase of internal strip-out works has now been completed across several floors.
The former office environment is being carefully taken back towards the building’s shell, with redundant wiring, pipework, ductwork and lighting being removed alongside suspended ceilings, raised access floors, non-load bearing partitions, wall linings and existing floor coverings.
Kitchens, sanitary ware and fitted office furniture are also being removed, with more of the original structure and flooring now exposed, the building is beginning to reflect the scale of the work required to convert its former office use into a new residential destination. - Creating Space for New Infrastructure
On Level 8, the team is currently focused on removing the existing mechanical and electrical infrastructure, known as M&E.
These systems were designed around the building’s previous open plan office use. Their removal is creating the space and routes required for new infrastructure that will support Horizon’s apartments and resident amenities.
This is an important part of adapting the existing building, allowing the new services to be designed around the requirements of its future residential use. - Careful Preparation for the Next Stage
The works are being progressed systematically through the building, with the initial strip-out taking place from the upper levels down.
With the first phase of works progressing, the structural engineer will inspect and review the areas completed so far. This provides an important check before the project moves further into the next phase.
Phase 2 will involve more substantial alterations to the existing building fabric, followed by the installation of new mechanical and electrical services and the beginning of the internal fit out.

It will be my third investment apartment with RW Invest and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Sean Orrett and Chloe Walker really do go the extra mile. Chloe in particular helped me through a particularly hard time with solicitors and all the paperwork that was involved. Living in a different country and negotiating all the nuances that come with investing, she negotiated with ease and gusto. A big thanks to you both.
Daniel Stewart, has assisted me every step of the way. This is my first property purchase and so took Daniel up on his offer to guide me through every step no matter how small. I felt comforted to have his assistance in documents I needed to both understand and sign. Couldn't be happier with the help and customer care I have received so far.
