We believe the best information about a residential development comes from the people living there. Owners and tenants have a lot of useful information to share with their prospective neighbours, not just on the property itself and its locality, but also on the developer and the building’s management.

Really great building with bespoke flats with character that fit well with the industrial history of Ancoats. Building management could be better - infrequent window cleaning (twice in a year and a half), roof terrace is still not finished after initial work started on it a year and a half ago, so you do have to watch your step up there - seen loose screws before! View from the roof terrace is one of the best from Manchester! Friendly staff working on the reception, always happy to receive parcels so safe delivery of parcels almost guaranteed!

Overall a good building, great location and the flats themselves are really nice. Lacking some amenity due to the coworking element at the property, no gym equipment or internal common areas. Roof terrace is a great amenity to have but is unfortunately not maintained well and has been left unfinished despite the building completing almost 2 years ago.

I like the design after a while. Lovely floors and big spaces very bright. I think the tenants should be allowed to go in the work from home spaces free of charge for what we are paying as there is no gym or pool. Concierge lovely. Love the floors. Bin collection always seem to be full.

I’ve had a very good experience in my 2 years at silk street, however given it’s in the ever so popular ancoats area the cost seems to have skyrocketed, but that’s beside the point. The building is brilliantly designed aesthetically, but some elements seem to be on the cheap side given they have already broken/been damaged. The rooftop terrace was not open for the first few months of my tenancy (moved in June, so basically missed the whole summer) and other contractor related maintenance work seems to take forever and more often not done right the first time. Overall good, just nitpicking as you’d expect a luxury newbuild to get it right and not have outstanding remedial works.

Quite convenient to have all shops, bars and restaurants right opposite to the complex locations. Building is brand new with all Net Zero appliances Has a cinema room and a roof garden which is a plus. Safe store keeping for the parcels. Levels of noise is minimum even living close to busy area.
