  The plan will need to raise £1bn in the next 10 years and may need further investors to build the homes.
  It is the first phase of the Manchester Life initiative and the homes will be rented out privately once built.
  The plan will help the city meet its target to build tens of thousands of homes by 2027, according to Manchester City Council.
  "The planned transformation of the eastern edge of the city centre is the single biggest residential investment Manchester has seen for a generation," said Sir Richard Leese, leader of Manchester City Council.
