Astra Group will deliver the signage for Vista River Gardens

Renaker has appointed Astra Group to deliver the signage for its new Manchester development.

Vista River Gardens is set within the Castlefield Conservation area, on the banks of the River Irwell. The impressive 55-storey tower will provide elevated riverside living when it completes in November 2025, coupled with four floors of exceptional facilities.

The six-figure brief sees Astra Group responsible for designing, manufacturing, and installing a breadth of interior and exterior wayfinding signage at Vista River Gardens, to help residents and visitors navigate the impressive destination.

Products will include interior directional signage graphics, exterior double-sided free-standing totems, and exterior directional finger posts.

The contract is the latest in a series of collaborations between the two Manchester head-quartered businesses, with Astra Group having also worked with Renaker to deliver interior and exterior wayfinding signage for The Blade and Three60, at New Jackson.

Speaking on the appointment, David Mulligan, managing director of Astra Group’s Signage & Digital Division, said: “Set within 1.6 acres of landscaped river gardens at Trinity Island, Manchester, Vista River Gardens will, upon completion, bring a new standard of waterfront living to the city.

“We’re proud to have the opportunity to work with Renaker on this remarkable development and to contribute to the ever-changing face of Manchester.”

Work on the project is underway with a November 2025 target delivery date.
