New Maker Yards is now home to 821 homes for rent set in canal-side green space within the growing Middlewood Locks development, making the Salford neighbourhood one of the largest build to rent developments outside of the capital.

New Maker Yards Phase Two is home to an attractive new resident amenity space, ‘The Lock’, which can be used for co-working, socialising, relaxing and events. The Lock will also include a new retail tenant, 92 Degrees, an independent roaster and coffee shop.

Wellbeing and resident events continue to be at the heart of the New Maker Yards community and alongside the free weekly exercise classes, our residents have enjoyed the Matt & Phreds Jazz Club on the canal and immersive theatre experiences produced by local venue, Hope Mills Theatre.

Continuing to be a champion of the local community, this year Get Living has worked with funding platform, Action Funder, to allocate £20,000 worth of funding to five organisations that support causes such as poverty and homelessness, mental health and wellbeing and fighting knife crime.
