One of Renaker's developments in Manchester is Trinity Island - a new riverside neighbourhood located on the bank of the River Irwell that benefits from views over both the river and across the city.

Renaker says:

'Trinity Island neighbourhood incorporates generous, high-quality public realm along 130m of scenic riverbank frontage.

Boasting a stunning riverbank setting and 1.6 acres of riverside park featuring both a children’s play area and dedicated dog park, Trinity Island is also situated close to St John’s, an area brimming with culture, enterprise and innovation.'
