Plans have been submitted for a major housing development on land that was once the site of Manchester City's first football stadium.
Ascena Developments are behind the major project on the Olympic Freight Terminal site in West Gorton.
The land - currently occupied by UniExpress - was once the home to Manchester City.
The club were based at 'Hyde Road' until 1923 when the ground was destroyed by fire and they relocated to Maine Road.
It is now used as a freight depot and for the storage of inert waste materials - with 35 people employed at the site.
Under the ambitious scheme 337 homes would be built on the land along with commercial units - including shops and a cafe.
The developer says more than 800 people would live in the units and it would "transform the area".
They say the seven year build would employ more than 200 workers and the Gross Value Added contribution of the development to the economy is expected to be £13.6million.
There would be 17 jobs once the site opens with hopes the existing 35 roles would be relocated rather than lost locally.
The developer said: "The proposals will transform an area currently occupied by industrial uses, which are currently harming the environmental quality of the neighbouring area.
"We believe that is a suitable site for residential development.
"The site is in a sustainable location close to Manchester City Centre with Hyde Road providing a direct route into the city centre.
"These proposals represent a real opportunity to regenerate a brownfield site with much needed new housing."
They said the frontage onto Bennett Street will replace the existing industrial nature of the site with an "attractive boulevard".
The plans have been submitted to Manchester City Council.
