Downing Living nominated for Developer of the Year at Coliving awards

Square Gardens has earned Downing Living a nomination for Developer of the Year at the 2025 Coliving Awards.

Our nomination category honours ‘visionary developers’ who push the boundaries of architecture and sustainability to craft spaces that not only meet the practical needs of their resident but also fosters community and enriched living experiences.

Located within Manchester’s thriving First Street district, Square Gardens recently reached full capacity throughout its 1,772-home scheme, which underlines the strength of demand for high-quality co-living accommodation.

“We are delighted to receive this nomination from the Coliving Awards. Square Gardens is more than a housing development; it is a blueprint for how city living is evolving. Recognition in the Developer of the Year category further attests to Downing being at the vanguard of creating modern communities”.

Sally O'Brien - Joint CEO
