    Poorly managed gym facilities

    R (Tenant)

    Deansgate Square, M15

    Mar 2024

    Showers broken for months in gym Soap never filled up No towels Poor cleaning Gym manager doesn’t care and is never reprimanded by the concierge - who are actually useful and very nice! For 2/3 grand a month, these are the basics that should be available , whenever without down time due to maintenance - other gyms and spa can do it, why can’t DSQ? If something breaks, they should have someone to call immediately, not wait 5 weeks etc, similar to the elevators that are always broken taking months to fix and then break again - not ideal when it’s 64 floors

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

    The facilities are extremely poorly ran - gym, sauna, pool - nothing is ever in working order, bas communications, bad gym management who never reply to emails from tenants and bad communications.

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

    Wish I’d have know the main facilities I moved in for would never be in full use or not broken

    What is the best feature of your home:

    View Apart from that, the elevators need fixing and so does the dog waste all around the development

    Shambles

    Jack (Tenant)

    Deansgate Square, M15

    Nov 2023

    Fantastic location and most importantly, fantastic potential. It’s a shame that it’s an absolute shambles. Staff are rude, the bin chutes are constantly broken which leads to piles of rubbish in the landing, lifts broke for over 12 hours meaning people had to climb up to nearly 40 floors, parking is expensive and horrifically tight. The app leads to arguments between neighbours which create a toxic environment. This would all be ok if it wasn’t for the fact it’s around £2000 a month to rent which is an absolute disgrace.

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

    Fantastic location as you’re in the middle of a thriving city. Parking is horrific though as it’s about a 6 month wait to get a parking space in the building for a hefty £200 a month. Wifi is a complete lie, I was told it’s free and then once you get into your apartment you find out it’s just about strong enough to send an email. You then have to pay £20 a month for it. I’d have no problem paying that but it feels like I’ve been lied to.

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

    How much of a shambles it is. So much potential. Would’ve liked to know how difficult it is to get a space for my car too.

    What is the best feature of your home:

    Facilities are very good. Gym, pool, shops, cafe/bar

    Good overall. A few issues need resolving.

    Overall would recommend. Does have the wow factor and feels very homely. Good views, amazing facilities. Parking has a big waiting list so isn’t very available and is quite expensive. Very convenient shop downstairs which is vegan friendly. Friendly and helpful staff at reception. Luxury feel.

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

    Good aspects : amazing location, impressive decor and style, very good with security, lovely amenities. Feel like you live in a 5* hotel. Bad aspects: difficult to move into. They’ve lost a £60 package of mine within 3 weeks of living here.

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

    How difficult it was to move in. That parking isn’t available.

    What is the best feature of your home:

    The spa, pool and gym. I also love the views and the wow factor in general as you walk in.

    Great place to live!

    Central development with 24 hour concierge facilities, well managed by Zenith. The communal areas are well designed and maintained including the secured parking spaces. Red bricks remind you that your are in Manchester. Beautiful views of Manchester City Centre especially from the higher floors. Nice spaces to sit outside, especially when the weather is nice. Kids sometimes playing in the court fountains. A secure, locked bicycle parking is available and residents of block C have access to a nice roof terrace with ample seating and BBQ etc.

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

    Excellent location with private parking for many apartments. The bin shoots are very convenient. Salford Central train station and bus stop a very short distance away.

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

    Not all apartments come with their own car park. Some residents rent out their car parking spaces if they don't need them.

    What is the best feature of your home:

    Central location, reserved car park concierge service and stunning views.

    Great for city centre living

    Chris (Tenant)

    Verified Resident

    Wilburn Basin, M5

    Jun 2023

    There’s a small gym and a concierge in the building, which is great for accepting your parcels, however sometimes it takes a while to pick up your orders as staff don’t always tend to be around, but most staff are very friendly. There is a cinema room which was great for gathering with friends but has been closed for 3 years now with no prospect of it opening at all. The building is still really modern besides loads of newer developments being build around this area. There is a massive project of 4 skyscrapers that are currently being build in front of Wilburn Basin which will limit the views over the city centre even for the top floor apartments.

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

    The development is close to the Castlefield area and it provides access to local restaurants, bars and great walks. Tram and bus stops are within 15 min walk, however parking is very limited. Regent retail park is right next to the building so it’s easy access to shops and a large Sainsbury’s supermarket.

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

    I haven’t had any issues raised, but most things that I’ve noticed have been fixed fairly quickly. Sometimes the lifts tend to break and they take a few days to repair, but there’s always at least one lift working.

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

    If possible try to get a flat with a balcony - it makes a massive difference having your own outdoor space. If you drive, make sure to get a flat with a car parking space as otherwise you won’t be able to find an alternative parking space anywhere around here. You could use the paid car park in the hotel or retail park next door, but multiple people have had their windows broken there so it’s a risk.
