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

Living around Deansgate Towers is generally very convenient, especially because of the central location. There is a good range of shops, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants and bars within easy walking distance, so most everyday needs are well covered. There are also some pleasant open spaces nearby, although being in the city centre means there is less greenery than in more residential areas. Transport links are very good, with convenient access to buses, trams and train services, making it easy to get around Manchester and further afield without a car. The downside of the central location is that traffic can be busy at peak times and journeys by car can sometimes be slow. The immediate area is lively and generally pleasant to live in. Parking can be limited and relatively expensive, particularly for visitors. Bin collections are generally manageable, although communal waste areas can occasionally become busy. As with most city-centre locations, there can sometimes be noise from traffic, nightlife and people returning home late at night, especially at weekends. Overall, the convenience, transport links and choice of amenities outweigh the occasional noise and parking issues.

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

Building management has generally been helpful and responsive when issues have been raised. Most problems are acknowledged quickly and dealt with professionally, although occasionally some maintenance requests can take longer than expected to resolve. Communication is usually clear, and overall the management team makes a reasonable effort to address residents’ concerns.

I wish I had known how lively and sometimes noisy the surrounding area can be, particularly at weekends and during busy events. It’s one of the trade-offs of such a central location. I’d also recommend checking parking arrangements and any additional building or service charges carefully before moving in. On the positive side, I didn’t fully appreciate just how convenient the location would be for shops, restaurants and public transport until I lived here. Overall, the convenience is a big advantage, but it’s worth being prepared for the usual noise and activity that comes with city-centre living.

I only moved in 3 weeks ago so didn’t get a chance to. However my washing machine wasn’t working and they have quickly fixed it which is excellent

The only downside is the concierge availability in the North Tower. I would love to see it staffed 24/7; currently, there are times I visit the desk and no one is there. Additionally, calls to the urgent number during these gaps often go unanswered.

The building is situated near the Wellington place office blocks so you are on the doorstep of Sainsburys local, coffee shops and restaurants. Plus, the canal is just behind offering walking routes to cafes and bars on the river.

Promptly and efficiently. Being a new build there has been a couple of snags, however they have responded and fixed them very quickly. They are also great at completing alterations requests.

Everything has been really good. The building is beautiful, modern and very well designed, with excellent amenities including the private dining room and workspaces. There are also lots of great events such as breakfasts, run clubs and sports nights, which make the building feel very welcoming and sociable. The location is very convenient, with plenty of nice restaurants, cafés and other amenities nearby. Parking is available through paid parking and some on-street permit parking. The street is very clean, quiet and peaceful, and bin collections are reliable and always on time. Maintenance has always been dealt with quickly and to a very good standard. The reception staff are excellent, especially Amaan, who has been incredibly friendly, helpful and professional throughout our stay. He made both our move-in and move-out very easy and also processed our deposit very quickly. Overall, we have had a really positive and enjoyable experience living here.
