About the project
This funky building comprising 152 one and two-bedroom
apartments is the latest development to grace the skyline at New
Broughton, Countryside Properties' landmark regeneration
scheme in Lower Broughton.
The Vibe offers residents all the facilities expected from a
Manhattan-style skyscraper apartment block including private
and secure parking, and a striking glazed atrium-style foyer, with
a stairway leading up to the first-floor mezzanine landscaped
garden. There is also 20,300 sq ft of commercial space on the
ground floor, gradually becoming occupied with amenities for the
local community.
These highly-desirable, cool and spacious dwellings were built to
provide high quality, affordable accommodation locally.
Apartments feature stylish, open-plan and flexible designs which
can be adapted to suit different lifestyles and functiona, and
either balconies overlooking Manchester’s dazzling city skyline,
or elegant French doors leading directly on to the landscaped
gardens.
Great Places Housing Group bought apartments from Countryside
Properties, and offered eligible working people a chance to rent a
stunning new home, perhaps with a view to buying later.
This unique scheme – entitled Plumlife Rent – offered one
bedroom apartments from as little as £334 per month, and two
bedrooms from just £356 per month, inclusive of service charge.
