Maslow Capital was pleased to provide a £64.2 million development finance facility for repeat client Forshaw Land & Property Group, a well-established property developer with an impressive pipeline of residential developments in prime city centre locations in the Northwest. This latest funding will drive the delivery of the Vivere Residences, a landmark mixed-use scheme in Cornbrook, Manchester, featuring 237 high-specification residential units and an 88 -key Vivere aparthotel.
This marks the third facility provided by Maslow Capital to Forshaw Land & Property Group, underscoring the strength and trust within their long-standing partnership.
This development will feature a mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments, alongside five penthouses. It will also feature an 88-key Vivere aparthotel, retail spaces, and car parking facilities. Residents will enjoy amenities such as a 24-hour concierge, a gym, a co-working lounge, meeting rooms, a private dining room, a cinema, and a coffee bar, all designed to cater to the needs of modern urban lifestyles.
Manchester continues to experience strong demand for new homes and hotel rooms, driven by employment growth, graduate retention, and increased investment. Innovative mixed-use developments like Vivere Residences play a crucial role in addressing this demand by delivering high-quality living spaces, hospitality offerings, and modern amenities that cater to the evolving needs of residents, visitors, and businesses alike.
This funding marks a significant milestone in the growing partnership between Maslow Capital and Forshaw Land & Property Group. Together, they have successfully delivered high-profile developments across Manchester, providing 463 homes with a combined financing total of £98.6 million. Previous projects include an £8.4 million loan for 66 residential units and a £26 million facility for a 160-unit residential scheme.
