At the project's core is an integrated Manchester City Academy with elite training and recovery facilities aligned with the club's approach to player development and community engagement. A waterfront promenade along the canal will bring together curated retail, dining and lifestyle destinations, including the City Cafe, and will feature a Match Day Terrace, the City Lounge and immersive experiences that celebrate the club's history. A marina sports club and water sports facilities will offer kayaking, paddleboarding and sailing.

Resort-style amenities will include advanced fitness centres and infinity pools while more than 55 per cent of the masterplan is dedicated to landscaped gardens and green spaces.
