The Fabric District is a very up and coming area, with great transport links (we’re only minutes from Lime Street), a 15 minute walk to Liverpool One, and everything else you could need on your doorstep. The building is right near the Royal and all the unis- but not close enough that you get disturbed by sirens!

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

They let us know of an issue they’d picked up just before we moved in, which was amazing, as we already knew it was being sorted before we’d even seen it! We’ve only had one minor issue ourselves, and it’s being sorted straight away

That we would finally feel properly at home. Getting to meet all the resident pets is a definite bonus!! Also- I don’t think we’ve ever waited longer than 15 mins for a takeaway to arrive since we’ve been here!

Podium is situated in the ideal location for us. We are extremely close to the metro (5 minute walk that feels like 40 seconds). We haven’t experienced any anti social behaviour - we are on the same street as Stretford Police station which makes the area feel extra safe. My partner often walks into the centre and we spend our weekends exploring both Chorlton and Didsbury as our close neighbouring areas. We couldn’t be happier with where our new home is located.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

The building management facilitated the fix of my shower head. This was fixed immediately.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I’ve been pleasingly surprised by the quality of the events, the wine glass painting for example was very up my street and the lady leading the session was very professional and warm (as they all have been)!

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The location is excellent, with a great range of shops, restaurants, bars and open spaces all within easy walking distance. Transport links are very convenient, with good access to buses, trains and the wider city centre. Living on the street is generally quiet and convenient, with very little traffic noise or anti-social behaviour. Overall, it’s a very well-connected area and a great place to live.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Usually straight away. Maintenance are brilliant and always on-site

How useful it is having a gym as part of the building!

Alameda is the most amazing place to live, so much on one's doorstep: the stadium world-renowned architectural iconic venue for the greatest concerts and sports events; the Arena another architecturally iconic period-style venue for events of all types; the outlet with knockdown prices - all the main high street stores represented here: sports and gym facilities of every conceivable type, bars and restaurants to suit every taste and the buzz that is BoxPark. Within Alameda you will be met by the most genteel and obliging staff led by Kassy. Without exception every member of the managerial team are top-drawer with 24/7 concierge cover, reliable cleaners and Tim & Bob the highly efficient maintenance men. I have lived with my wife and daughter for some four years in this building and service was never as good as it is currently. The physical structure of the building makes it one of the best built in the new Wembley "City": gardens on three levels with eating, barbecue, pagoda areas, and outdoor cinema facility; gym onsite with free usage of larger gym in ajoining Beton; best workstation of any apartment block in the vicinity; the Sala Lounge for private meeings or parties should you so choose; library, television relax-chill out area with useful implements for hire including dyson, printer, games and a dispensing machine with snacks all on the Yellow Road on the mezzanine floor. There is a great sense of community fostered by the management and I have made many friends in the building. Above all, since Allsop took over matters have markedly improved. There were initial glitches but these were unquestionably inherited issues. They have all been satisfactorily resolved. The interior of the apartments is chic and cool. I simply cannot recommend highly enough life at Alameda with our new team and management company. Come live here - you will be thrilled. Simon Harris 1025 Alameda.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Any problems and issues have been dealt with promptly. There was a Water Issue for a number of days but the team arranged hourly rosters so that everyone could take a shower and freshen up in the adjoining Allsop building Beton where there were a number of vacant apartments. I took advantage of this and so the inconvenience was minimal plus we were supplied with as many water bottles at no charge as we needed and the offer of using a hotel for c.£200 per night was made. I cannot magine what more the company could have done!

When you factor inthat you can have a parking spot and there are storage pods too: there really is every conceivable comfort and facility you could hope for. I don't think that I fully appreciated the total wrap-around care on offer. Residents have even augmented the library on the Yellow Road [Mezzanine] with good quality volumes that they have read and donated them to the general collection. There is also a kitchen adjacent to the workstation, two televisions one in the general area, the other in the Sala and likewise two mini-fridges to cool your beers or proseco!

Such a good location! Walking distance to Deansgate and 5 mins from Cornbrook tram stop. There’s a co op, Tesco express and Morrisons within 5 mins as well.
