The building is brilliant. Outdoor terrace and sky lounge are the best that I’ve seen in Manchester – the view is something they could charge money for as a viewing deck. Gym is small, so not enough if this is a big priority for you, but good enough for me. Concierge service is good, there is always somebody available to pick up packages. Letting agent is very friendly and it was a swift moving in process. Only downside is that we have had a sink leak, we have posted a complaint on the app, but not heard back in over a month. Also, the building does not recycle food waste.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Small Sainsburys is extremely close by. Less than 5 mins walk to get into Manchester City Centre. Range of outdoor and indoor car parks available, but lots of one-way streets and gridlocked traffic at peak times. Exchange square is close and is good for restaurants. Deansgate is less than 10 mins walk which is good for bars. Lots of building work going on, so lots of noise, but no noise after working hours. Area is full of young professionals, so never feels unsafe, even when walking home during the night.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
There is a nightclub called Hidden across the river. Depending on which way the wind is flowing, this can be annoying as it is noisy from 11pm-8am. About half of the nights it is open, it is audible, but the windows are soundproofed and it is not a major issue during the winter. Something to be aware of during the summer when it’s hot though.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
No response in over a month after using their app.
