The final phase of striking industrial-style apartments in the popular Castlefield neighbourhood of Potato Wharf are now available.
Set in the heart of Manchester city centre, all of the apartments at the Potato Wharf development have been built with sustainability in mind, and combine the best of contemporary living with industrial-style architecture that’s said to be inspired by the surrounding brickwork of Castlefield.
The mixture of one and two-bedroom homes forming part of the new phase not only benefit from being enviably-close to a wide range of amenities that are right on the doorstep in the bustling city centre, but they also boast canalside views over the adjacent network of waterways.

The apartments even look out over the iconic Castlefield Viaduct too.
In case you’re unfamiliar with the site, Potato Wharf is located just a stone’s throw from the Grade II-listed heritage structure, which the National Trust has recently revealed will be turned into a new urban park space that’s reminiscent of the New York High Line.

This means that all new residents can look forward to a summer spent among this much-anticipated new green space that’s set to provide a wealth of health and wellbeing benefits thanks to its easy access to nature.

Not only that, but every home in the new Potato Wharf phase also has access to cycle spaces, and provision for electric vehicle charging points too – with the majority of the apartments also enjoying either a balcony or terrace.
The immaculate interiors have been largely inspired by the area’s character.
With the industrial Castlefield area having fast become one of the most desirable places to spend time in Manchester, thanks to it being home to some of the city’s best waterside bars, restaurants, outdoor venues, cultural destinations, cobbled streets, Potato Wharf is in the heart of all the action.

It’s less than a 10-minute walk from favourites such as Dukes 92, The Wharf, and Barry’s Bootcamp too.
Deansgate train station and Metrolink stop are also on the doorstep to provide convenient transport links across Greater Manchester and the North West.

From drone shows to free ice lollies – what went down at Parklife 2025
Daisy Jackson
It’s been a few days since Parklife 2025 wrapped up, and now that we’ve all caught up on sleep we’re looking back on some of the highlights you might’ve missed.
With such a stacked line-up of live music, it would be impossible to have seen everything – from that sizzling final set from Charli XCX to Morgan Seatree’s emotional hometown show, plus viral sensation Interplanetary Criminal filling Matinee and D.O.D. getting the whole Big Top dancing.
One moment that you couldn’t possibly have missed if you were on the ground at Parklife festival was a surprise drone show which dazzled overhead on Saturday night.
As rap legend 50 Cent wrapped up his huge headline set on The Valley stage, and The Hangar came alive to the sound of Pawsa, fans got an extra special treat way up in the skies.
Hundreds of drones came together in an impressive, illuminated aerial display, starting with a 10-second countdown that stopped festival-goers in their tracks.
The drones then flew in formation to create iconic shapes like a yellow JD Sports duffle bag, an adidas shoebox, and the shape of a slowly-rotating Climacool trainer – and what a trainer it is.

That wasn’t the only bit of attention the Climacool footwear got at Parklife either – thankful fans were treated to free Climacool branded ice lollies and slushies on their way into the festival on Saturday.
As the sun beat down on Heaton Park (bar the odd brief downpour, classic Manchester), adidas and JD Sports arrived in an ice cream truck with the coolest drop at the festival.
There was a helping hand from social media sensation Yombo to hype up the crowd before the festival had even got started.
The Climacool has a textile lining and upper work, with a perforated midsole to allow airflow and keep your feet fresh – perfect for any city adventure (and pretty perfect for a day at Parklife, we discovered).
If the Climacool trainers have caught your eye – either in the sky, at the Climacool ice cream truck, or on social media – then the good news is you can now shop them for yourselves.
