The appearance of the building is very beautiful and modern as well as the room structures. I especially like the huge windows in the room and the view outside, but windows always need to be fixed after a period of time. The concierge team is nice and responsible.

The surrounding facilities and environment are good. It is very convenient to live here as there is a supermarket near it. However evey time he trial downstairs goes by, it is but noisy.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The place is far away from the university of Manchester
My very short experience
The building has a nice design. The reception is amazing with one of the best perfume smell. The Concierge are kind specially “Mahdi and Manwel”. They have the best and smart manager. Few things needed to reach top (gym, bigger social area and parking).

The location is perfect. There is a sainsbury’s very close to the tower. 10 min walk to the arandale, 2 min walk to deansgate. There are two stations close to the tower ……ect. I would really recommend this tower for many advantages.

We had a small problem at the window and they responded to the report and fixed it the next day. Very fast compairing to my experiences with other buildings
Good experience
The rent process went smoothly and the the building management were helpful with our welcome and maintenance issues. Building design is very minimalist and appealing to the modern generation whilst facilities are just what you need. Would’ve loved a gym in the building however the convenient location makes it easy to go to any other gym.

The location is extremely convenient especially for a student you are right in the middle between the vibrant city center and university campus + clubs on the exact same street. Unlike initial assumptions made knowing that we are very close to pubs and clubs, it is not very noisy.

Would’ve loved to know an average cost for utilities overall depending on the type of apartment. It was pretty hard to approximate how much 2 people will consume for water energy and internet.
Also I would’ve loved to have like an introduction tour from the person that welcomed us in the building when we moved in. Things like where to find the bin area and how to turn on/off heating would’ve helped
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
We had a problem when we first arrived regarding the dining table that was very unstable. We raised the issue with the building management and one day later a maintenance guy came to fix it. Everything went smoothly
Development is great
Development is great however the design of widows there is a lot of draft and cold seeping through, the bike storage needed to be more secure as my bike was easily stolen in mid day!
Needs to be a feature where hot water temperature can be adjusted

Knowing the area better
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Not the greatest, my bike was stolen and the bike store was broken into and nothing was done in terms of helping me sort things
The design of the tower is so good however I would change the layout of the apartments
The design of the tower is so good however I would change the layout of the apartments. I would make them similar in size, especially the living room and bedroom size; like there shouldn’t be that much of a difference. As for the facilities i would say that it’s good, the concierge is nice and polite. As for the rent, I thing that it should be lower as it has less facilities compared to the other towers (west, north, south, east, Victoria residential, Elizabeth). Overall, I’m really grateful I can call axis tower my home, it’s such a safe tower ( no one can access the building and my floor) with the perfect location and view.

The location of axis tower is perfect, it’s between the university and the center. Sainsbury is near us, the view is spectacular, and moreover there are not that many tenants compared to the other towers which is an advantage.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I moved in during lockdown, I wasn’t shown the apartment. I was new to moving and living abroad (I’m 18, a student), so it would’ve been really appreciated if they’ve suggested to have a FaceTime call to view the apartment, because it looked much smaller in real life than in person. Despite all the issues I’ve faced in the beginning, I’m really grateful I took this apartment.

Sometimes they take so much time, but overall they were good.
Great people working here and it’s the main reason why I stayed here.
The area is great building is lovely. But the apartment is slightly cold even with heating on. but other than that I love the place and hopefully I would like to buy an apartment in the building once one up for sale.

The facility is brilliant. The team especially are amazing Magdy is amazing always helps and accommodating. George the new guy has been great. I do hope they stay and not have too many people changing. I hope you can retain the great guys. It would be a shame to lose them. I have already sent an email before few months ago with how great the guys are.
The only thing I believe need to change is to keep the same faces as they know the people here and especially when they are really helpful. Neil has been brilliant with finding me another place too. So thanks in advance.

Nothing
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes always accommodating and helpful when needed help.
Great building
I’m really happy with chossing Axis Manchester, the design of the building and flat is great, the flat is spacious and worth the rent money, the 24 hour concierge and delivery receiving services are efficient, the downsides I would say is the absence of a Gym.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
The building is well located in the centre, very close toDeansgate tram and train stations and supermarkets, but it is sometimes noisy in the weekends because of close proximity to bars.

Nothing comes to mind at this point, I got what I expected.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
I filed a fixing request once and it was dealt with very quickly.
Overall good.
Design is very modern but there’s an issue when it comes to the window which is not a rectangular shape but a parallelogram. It is quite hard to find a curtain that fits the window perfectly. It would be better if there are communal spaces or facilities available in the building, such as a work space.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Very convenient to travel as the property is located next to a deansgate-castlefield tram station. There are good restaurants and bars near the property. Although it is near an intersection, there isn’t much traffic noise. The only downside is that the bin collection company often forget or delay the service, causing an excessive load of trash at the bin storage the next day.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The pre-installed heaters are too small for the room.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
It usually takes a week or more to get a reply from the management team, but they do solve the issue.
Great Apartment
Great design and friendly staff. We love it but have been let down by a number of big issues with our apartment. The design is beautiful and we love it. The facilities are okay but we knew there wouldn’t be parking or gym facilities so we liked the cheaper price on offer.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Great transport links and location in general. No parking though, which is an issue.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Known the number of issues we’d have.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Slowly and painstaking at times. We have had many issues but haven’t been dealt with swiftly.
Would highly recommend AXIS
The design is really modern, all aspects of the property are well thought out and the finish is to a high standard.
Facilities are great, the appliances are good quality and easy to use.
Property management services at AXIS are to a good standard. Issues are mostly dealt with quickly and efficiently.

Location is excellent, lots of great shops and bars really close by. Everything is within walking distance as you’re right in the centre of town.

I was very pleasantly suprised by how good the location of this property was. I was new to the area and didn’t realise just how central this was to the centre of town.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Overall well. We had a few issues with water temperature and electrics and these were fixed.
Energy Consumption
The property managers have been very responsive and helpful with issues with the property. I like the overall look and design of the apartments however the energy consumption is a big problem for me, the heaters don’t seem to help at all in the cold winter and they cost an absolute fortune in energy bills to run with very little warmth. Its absolutely freezing at night!

The location for public transport is a huge bonus at Axis, i just wish there was more access to parking for visitors.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish i had known how bad the energy consumption is and how cold the flat gets in the winter as previously mentioned
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The bath plug broke and our property manager arranged a contractor to fix it swiftly.
