Learn moreRochdale’s heritage isn’t just to be found in our historic buildings and neighbourhoods. It’s in our public spaces and cultural attractions, and in a bustling, diverse town centre. It’s also why we’ve invested heavily in Rochdale Riverside. The first phase of this ambitious scheme, a brand new retail and leisure complex, is now complete. Work on the scheme’s second phase started in October 2021 and will complete in late 2023.
Despite the Covid pandemic, Rochdale Borough Council and the RDA are forging ahead with plans for the second phase of Rochdale Riverside called Upperbanks.
This will include two blocks of nine and ten story apartment blocks delivering 242 one- and two-bedroom apartments. It will also feature a 146-bedroom hotel and, if an occupier can be found, 43,000 sq ft of offices.
Upperbanks will sit adjacent to the retail and leisure complex. Construction began in October 2021. Here is a a link to a time lapse camera to view progress of the development

Taken together, the Rochdale Riverside projects will significantly increase the number of people living and working in the town centre, as well as the number of visitors to Rochdale. The developments are part of our holistic approach to town centre redevelopment, with signage and walkways linking Rochdale’s retail and leisure centres with its historic and cultural attractions.
