Summary, model-written
India House, a 1906 Grade II* listed Edwardian Baroque warehouse (original use: packing/ship), was converted to 100 rental apartments by The Guinness Partnership. It follows a 'reinhabit' strategy, repurposing an industrial site. Within 10km, three peer sites (Chorlton New Mills, Ducie Street Warehouse, Wythenshawe Bus Garage) share the same strategy and are similarly built.
Why. Grade II* listing (1974) and proximity to other reinhabited industrial sites (0.5–9.4km) are key context points. No planning approval details or financial data are provided in the record.
Where it stands. Status: built. No evidence of ongoing development or planning challenges in the record. Peer sites include Manchester industrial conversions (score 5.0–5.5) and U.S. malls (score 4.0), but no U.S. context is relevant to this UK site.
