Day Two
Day 1
AncoatsAncoats, formerly the world’s first industrial suburb with a history of poverty has been
transformed into the 13th coolest place in the world (Time Out 2018).These days the
evidence of its industrial past can be seen in the once derelict mills now converted into
smart apartments and co-working spaces.With Ancoats gaining international recognition,
the four Manchester Life’s schemes made a great place to dive straight into the UKAA tour
– highlighting the interaction of heritage and modernism that characterises the city.

CottonField wharf - BTR scheme
Murrays Mills - Mill conversion for sale

It didn’t take long for members to
note Manchester Life’s distinctive and
consistent brand across the schemes
and the efforts made to preserve some
of the history of their developments,
especially former pub, The Smith’s
Arms.
Following a final Q&A with Jennifer
Bendick (Manchester Life Management
COO), the day ended with dinner
and networking in Ancoats’ Elnecote,
including a speech from special guest,
Sir Howard Bernstein, on the importance
of vision and leadership in urban

Day 2
City CentreThe day started off with breakfast networking at Dakota Hotel before everyone met in the
foyer to be welcomed by Michael Howard, Managing Director and owner of urbanbubble,
who shared a brief overview of the day’s itinerary.The tour split into two groups, led by
Michael Howard and Lee Hill, Director at JLL Residential, on two coaches to tour the six
schemes in opposite directions.
UKAA Study Tour: Manchester Deep Dive
LOCAL
Blackfriars
UKAA Study Tour: Manchester Deep Dive
LOCAL Blackfriars, operated by
urbanbubble
LOCAL Blackfriars is a PRS rather than Build To Rent scheme and was a
great illustration of the impact of individual Buy To Let ownership rather than
institutional ownership when trying to create and manage an amenity /
experience led building.
Attendees entered LOCAL Blackfriars through the once famous Black Friars
pub where they viewed 3D models of the scheme. The group were then
guided to the private residents’ courtyard which has access to the residents’
lounge (with laundry facilities following the New York design feel), gym and
cinema room.

GreenGate

Greengate, operated by JLL
The tour then took in the high-spec gym and an apartment and ended with a
Q&A with Lee Hill, who opened and is responsible for Greengate.

West Tower,
Deansgate
Square

West Tower, Deansgate Square,
operated by urbanbubble
Prestige is an understatement. The group approach the scheme and
walk up the stairs to impressive views to enter the towering art deco styled
reception. With seating all around, communal social areas and a free coffee
machine, it was hard to move the group along to see the rest of the tower.
With several high-speed elevators, there was no queuing to get to the deluxe
penthouse. There the two tour groups met up again to network over lunch
and enjoy the amazing views over the city.
UKAA Study Tour: Manchester Deep Dive
The
Trilogy
UKAA Study Tour: Manchester Deep Dive
The Trilogy, operated by Allsop
After entering The Trilogy, to their right, next to the lift, the tour group viewed
the mailroom (digitally linked to the scheme’s app) and a gym. Down the
corridor, where the group went next, was a communal area which residents
were encouraged to use for co-working. Within the area was a coffee
machine for residents to use for free. Allsop, the operators of The Trilogy have
made an environmentally conscious decision to replace single-use plastic
cups with branded keep-cups.
Past the communal area and the concierge’s desk was the door to the
residents’ courtyard which comprised benches around the patioed area and
behind it, a grassed area for pets.
The tour ended with a Q&A in the showroom and even branded gifts.
UKAA Study Tour: Manchester Deep Dive
New Maker
Yards
UKAA Study Tour: Manchester Deep Dive
New Maker Yards at Middlewood
Locks, operated by Get Living
Despite only opening in June 2019, the scheme has already reached
approximately 40% occupancy with an ambitious target to reach 100% by
the end of the year.
The tour started with a walk through the purpose-built, newly created
neighbourhood with large garden chess and multiple deck chairs in the
communal courtyard, encouraging residents to socialise.
The group were guided to the first show apartment where visitors were
welcomed with soft drinks, fruit, sweets and New Maker Yards’ own Get Living
branded ‘Seven Brothers’ beers. After inspecting this apartment, the group
were wowed by the premium luxury apartment.

The Slate
Yard
UKAA Study Tour: Manchester Deep Dive
The Slate Yard, operated by
urbanbubble
The two-day study tour ended at The Slate Yard where the groups were met
by Chris and Stuart, urbanbubble’s resident management team. There was
a warm welcome all around – the receptionist, Chris, Stuart and residents in
the communal area all greeted the group as they were led to the co-working
area. Before Chris kicked off the tour with an introduction to the scheme and
a Q&A, the group were offered tea and coffee which is free to all residents.
The group walked across the courtyard to the opposite building where the
gym is located. After an explanation of what the gym offers to the residents,
visitors were taken to a show-room apartment for a walk-around and a
chance to view the city’s skyline from the balcony.
UKAA Study Tour: Manchester Deep Dive
“The Manchester Deep Dive Study Tour
offered the most in depth analysis and
assessment of the broadest range of PRS/
BTR in the City, shining a light into every
corner, leaving no stone unturned. A
fascinating insight to the vast expansion in
the North’.”
-

“The whole day visiting the different sites
was great. I was exhausted by the end of it
but it was really well planned and organised
and I wouldn’t have changed any of it!”

New Maker Yards at Middlewood Locks, operated by Get Living Despite only opening in June 2019, the scheme has already reached approximately 40% occupancy with an ambitious target to reach 100% by the end of the year. The tour started with a walk through the purpose-built, newly created neighbourhood with large garden chess and multiple deck chairs in the communal courtyard, encouraging residents to socialise. The group were guided to the first show apartment where visitors were welcomed with soft drinks, fruit, sweets and New Maker Yards’ own Get Living branded ‘Seven Brothers’ beers. After inspecting this apartment, the group were wowed by the premium luxury apartment.
  • 42. The Slate Yard, operated by urbanbubble The two-day study tour ended at The Slate Yard where the groups were met by Chris and Stuart, urbanbubble’s resident management team. There was a warm welcome all around – the receptionist, Chris, Stuart and residents in the communal area all greeted the group as they were led to the co-working area. Before Chris kicked off the tour with an introduction to the scheme and a Q&A, the group were offered tea and coffee which is free to all residents. The group walked across the courtyard to the opposite building where the gym is located. After an explanation of what the gym offers to the residents, visitors were taken to a show-room apartment for a walk-around and a chance to view the city’s skyline from the balcony.
