Talbot Mill, built in the 1850s on Castlefield鈥檚 Ellesmere Street, is being redeveloped and a 10-storey apartment block is being built alongside.
The 拢38m scheme will create 190 apartments for rent.
Main contractor CR 萝莉原创 is heading up the work, with the first homes expected to be ready by spring 2026.
It is Capital & Centric鈥檚 eighth construction project; it is also restoring Neptune Mill in Manchester鈥檚 Piccadilly East into five floors of creative workspaces.
John Moffat, joint managing director at Capital & Centric, said: 鈥淭albot is steeped in history, it spearheaded the rapid transformation of that part of the city and stands as a reminder of Manchester鈥檚 industrial past. We鈥檙e now on with the meticulous restoration and repurposing of the mill, keeping as many of the original features as we can. When done, people will be calling an important piece of the city鈥檚 heritage their home 鈥 with all the historical charm, but a modern, design edge.鈥
He added: 鈥淲e鈥檝e diversified what we do, bringing our approach to creating flagship new neighbourhoods to towns and cities in UK. But it鈥檚 always a pleasure to get back to where it all started for Capital & Centric, repurposing stunning historic buildings into something really special. The re-birth of Talbot will build on what we鈥檝e done at Crusader and Kampus in the city, delivering a genuine community with lush outdoor spaces to boot.鈥
