Living at EDA has been a really great experience overall. The building is modern, well designed and the apartments are finished to a high standard with lots of natural light and great views from the 19th floor. The amenities are the best part of the building I’d say! The cinema is my favourite. I have nothing bad to say about EDA!

Cortland is really ideal for shops, gyms, reformer pilates, links to Greater Manchester. There is also a lot of parking available, trams, buses, trains close by. Good restaurants and bars - and links to Manchester Airport.

Steve, Alan, Ant & Charlotte are super stars! Steve and Alan have always been super friendly, approachable and organised. They get everything you need sorted. Steve is the reception OG, he's got everything in an order and he will act on things. Alan has the friendliness and chill everyone I think everyone should have in life! His energy and approach is something we really admire and appreciate living here. Charlotte was so understanding and supported us with a recent situation, really understanding our perspective - which we really appreciate! Ant is amazing - he's always on the ball for repairs, goes out of his way to help and he really does deserve all of the recognition for his hard work around Cortland! As a girl who absolutely lives life without any toolbox, I never feel silly asking Ant for help with repairs and things that I honestly have no idea about!

There is a construction site which you should be mindful of before choosing your apartment. But it is each to their own and everyone has a different lifestyle, so this may not impact some people.
