Detailed plans for a £2 million affordable housing project for Jews on the former premises of Manchester Zionist headquarters Mamlock House have been unveiled.
Manchester Jewish Housing Association is developing the 22-unit mix of family houses and apartments, featuring up to six-bedroom houses with kosher kitchens. Two-bedroom apartments will also be built for retired people or young professionals unable to purchase through the private sector.
Mamlock House has been empty since being offloaded by UJIA in 2011.
Manchester City Council is said to be supportive of the scheme, for which planning applications are expected to be lodged within three months.
