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. The masterplan also integrates essential community infrastructure, including education and healthcare services.
