At the project's core is an integrated Manchester City Academy with elite training and recovery facilities modelled on the club's player development approach, and a waterfront promenade that will host curated retail, dining and lifestyle destinations. Additional amenities include a Match Day Terrace, a City Lounge, a marina sports club with kayaking, paddleboarding and sailing and resort-style facilities, while more than 55 per cent of the masterplan is allocated to landscaped gardens and green spaces.
