Design of the space is okay, blank enough to put your own stamp on, but enough character to make it homely instantly. Quite large footprints which is good.
Gym is great, but would be far better with actual gym equipment, treadmills, heavier weights etc. i believe not many people stick to using it because of this.
Roof lounge is good for gatherings, but 10pm roof curfew is too early.
Addressing Maintenance issues can be slow.
The prices of the flats are ridiculously high for what they are. I’m not sure what we’re paying for, yes we have amenities but compared to other developments that have even better amenities (cinema, proper gym, pools etc) why is ours so high? The fact that we’re basically living on a construction site, the flats should not be this expensive. There are plenty of other developments around town that are not this high for more bedrooms, same specifications. We will be moving on when our tenancy is finished, it’s not worth it.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Good – close to Northern quarter, close to cafes / nightlife, community feel, close walk to Ancoats marina.
Bad – nestled in between construction sites, roof terrace view completely blocked, empty units on the ground floor, right on a main road, loud.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The amount of construction work happening around the site.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Issues are picked up and responded to quickly, but actually fixing them can be slow. Maintenance workers can be messy and not actually turn up when they say they will.
