Key North West Regeneration Schemes You Should Know About
The North West has been a prominent region for regeneration in the UK for many years, and there are some exciting upcoming schemes planned for the area. With billions of pounds being invested into major cities and towns to drive economic growth, improve infrastructure, and create vibrant, sustainable communities, now is an exciting time for the North West.
Learn about some of the key schemes in North West property hotspots, Liverpool, Manchester and Warrington, and how they’re set to further connect and empower the region.

Northern Arc Rail Scheme: Connecting the North
A recently proposed scheme that impacts the entire North West region, Northern Arc Rail could create a high-speed rail link that would drastically cut travel times between cities and towns.
Backed by local authorities and business groups, the scheme aims to address the £36 billion annual productivity loss due to poor transport links in the North. The rail could cut travel time between Manchester and Liverpool from 50 to just 30 minutes, which would then massively reduce travel time between these cities and Warrington.
Improved rail infrastructure is expected to drive economic growth, boost connectivity, and support the success of regeneration schemes across the North West and beyond.
When it comes to the rental market in the North West, this improved connectivity would likely mean that ‘commuter towns’ such as Warrington and Wigan would see far more demand from young professionals who want to live in a quieter, more affordable area while travelling to work in the city.

Liverpool: Reimagining a Historic City
Liverpool is leading the way with a series of ambitious regeneration projects. Here are some of the exciting upcoming schemes in store for Liverpool.
The Pumpfields District
Pumpfields is a 75-acre district on the northern edge of Liverpool city centre that is undergoing major regeneration. Plans aim to transform this long-neglected area into a vibrant, mixed-use neighbourhood with up to 10,000 new homes, improved infrastructure, and better connections to the city centre and waterfront.
Landmark property developments in this area include The Gateway, which offers luxury apartments alongside ground-floor commercial units including a coffee shop.
Pall Mall Office Investment
Liverpool City Council has set out plans to invest £15 million into a major Grade A office scheme at Pall Mall.
This scheme will deliver an eight-storey office building, creating 111,500 sq ft of premium office space as well as ground-floor units. Plans also include a new urban park.
Not only will this cater to the high demand for commercial space in the city, but it will also strengthen the potential of Liverpool residential investment by increasing the appeal of the city as a great place to live and work.
Liverpool Waters
The £5.5 billion, 30-year Liverpool Waters project is transforming the city’s historic waterfront into five interconnected neighbourhoods.
This scheme will deliver over 9,000 new homes, modern office and commercial spaces, and extensive public and green areas.
The new Everton Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock, now named Hill Dickinson Stadium, is a key landmark of the area, expected to generate over £1 billion for the local economy and host major events such as UEFA Euro 2028.
Kings Liverpool
Liverpool’s skyline is set for another major lift with a new 70-storey tower announced as the centrepiece of the £1bn Kings development on the northern waterfront.
Rising to around 221m, the building would become by far the tallest in the city, and indeed one of the tallest in the UK (outside London), combining a five-star, 212-room hotel with more than 500 luxury apartments and extensive resident amenities.
Anchoring a wider masterplan of 10 new buildings, the tower will help transform the King Edward industrial estate into a high-density waterfront neighbourhood with thousands of new homes, office space, and leisure attractions, further cementing Liverpool’s reputation as a growing destination for investors, visitors, and city centre renters.
Knowledge Quarter
Spanning 450 acres and backed by more than £1 billion in investment, the Knowledge Quarter is positioning Liverpool as a global centre for research, innovation, and advanced manufacturing.
Anchored by leading universities and hospitals, the area is attracting high-skilled jobs and fostering a future-focused urban environment.
Warrington: Strategic Growth and Sustainable Industry
Warrington is also seeing significant regeneration, designed to attract new businesses, create jobs, and deliver modern, sustainable communities.
Warrington Town Centre Masterplan
Warrington’s Town Centre Masterplan is a long-term regeneration scheme that aims to deliver over 8,000 new homes alongside new offices, leisure, and cultural spaces.
Key projects in this scheme aim to improve transport links and revitalise brownfield sites to create a vibrant, sustainable urban community. This scheme will help increase the popularity of Warrington as a great place to live, further boosting the town’s investment appeal.
Fiddler’s Ferry Regeneration
Fiddler’s Ferry is a mixed-use development scheme that aims to bring new homes, employment space, and green spaces to the town, on the site of what was once a coal-fired power station.
The first phase of the scheme is set to deliver 1.5 million sq ft of employment space across four industrial and distribution buildings, supporting 845 jobs and enhancing the already thriving economy of the town.
Manchester: Ambition on a City-Region Scale
Always a key player when it comes to the regeneration of the North West, Manchester is undergoing a range of ongoing schemes, reshaping its urban landscape and driving growth across the city.
Greater Manchester Growth and Prevention Delivery Plan
The decade-long, £10 billion Growth and Prevention Delivery Plan in Manchester is a scheme that aims to create 90,000 jobs and 58,000 homes, targeting six key growth locations and unlocking land for development.
This ambitious plan will target six key growth locations throughout Greater Manchester and deliver economic growth across the city region.
One key scheme within this is the Old Trafford Regeneration Project which aims to bring a new 100,000-capacity Old Trafford Stadium while also transforming the surrounding area.
Victoria North
Another flagship project of Greater Manchester, Victoria North is one of the largest urban regeneration schemes in the UK and is set to deliver 15,000 new homes over the next two decades.
This initiative also includes the creation of new parks and improved transport links alongside a mix of affordable and high-quality housing to foster vibrant communities.
MediaCityUK Phase 2
Construction is underway for a £1 billion expansion of MediaCityUK in Salford. This is set to double the size of the scheme and bring a new sustainable mixed-use community to the Salford area over the coming decade.
The scheme will deliver 3,200 new homes and cater to an expanding workforce, with plans for additional retail, leisure and office spaces. Key existing areas of MediaCityUK are set to be updated under the new phase, including a new ‘media hub’ planned for the BBC and ITV offices and upgrades to the Quayside shopping centre.
West One, one of our current Manchester investment opportunities, is ideally located in Salford to allow investors to benefit from the enhanced growth of this already thriving regeneration zone.
