Introduction At Urban Splash, design and quality have always been at the core of our buildings and we work with world class architects to create homes and communities where people want to live. In Manchester we have a range of developments in a variety of locations, both city centre and in the suburbs. From beautiful old mill buildings that are full of character; to stunning, unique, architectural icons. A home for every taste.

We want to make our award winning homes available to everyone. That is why we offer a variety of ways to live in an Urban Splash home. You can buy a home from us the traditional way, to live in or as an investment. You can rent one of our homes directly from us with the flexibility of having it furnished or unfurnished. Or some of our homes are now available on government initiatives such as Rent to HomeBuy, to help you get a foot on the property ladder.

We have now also set up our own residential management company. This means we’re looking after our residential buildings, keeping them up to scratch and looking great to help us deliver a better service to our tenants. The Urban Splash brand carries a guarantee on quality and service that our customers trust.

The following pages give you a snapshot of our Manchester homes and more information on each development can be found on our website www.urbansplash.co.uk. Please contact our residential team for more information or to arrange a viewing on 0333 666 9999 or live@urbansplash.co.uk.

Chimney Pot Park is a community of awardwinning upside down houses in Salford.

Urban Splash has brought the terraced house slap bang up to date. The best bits have been kept – the size, the shape, the roof, the front door, the streets, but with the help of architects shedkm, the insides are something altogether new.

Retaining original facades and streetscapes and introducing a new steel frame construction behind has allowed the best use of space. What was once an unused alleyway behind the houses has become secure undercroft carparking spaces, with generous terraces for each house built on top.

Inside, the houses are ‘up-side down’, with two bedrooms, a bathroom and closet space downstairs, and a generous open plan living space upstairs. What was once loft space has been converted into a mezzanine level with a skylight, providing either a kitchen or a living room snug.

The open design of the terraces at the rear and the communal herb garden have fostered a great sense of community at Chimney Pot Park and the success of this development has had a visible knock on effect for the local area.

Houses at Chimney Pot Park are available for sale and to rent.

Location Chimney Pot Park is located in Langworthy, right by Salford Quays and with direct access by Metrolink to Manchester city centre.

Castlefield

Since Urban Splash moved into Castlefield in the late 90’s, we have been instrumental in transforming this area from an industrial brownfield site into a thriving new community.

We’ve brought it back to life by converting existing buildings and by creating new modern buildings. These are linked together by a new open street scene and complimented by bags of communal open space for residents to enjoy.

Live/work spaces, plus small and big commercial units on the ground floor in all of our buildings have helped to bring young creative firms as well as bigger companies, such as Groundwork and our own head office to the area.

There are also retail and leisure units which currently house a thriving local shop and several popular cafĂŠ bars where the locals can meet and hang out. This mix of uses makes the area feel alive throughout the day and night and has created a sense of community making it one of the most popular residential locations in Manchester.

Castlefield is only a five minute walk into the City Centre along the canal towpath, and it has excellent transport links with Cornbrook Metro Station right next door and Deansgate train station close by. There is direct access onto the Mancunian Way and the further motorway network. All buildings are provided with underground car parking space and there are bicycle lock ups.

All of our buildings in Castlefield have won a RIBA award for architecture as well as several prestigious Housing Design Awards and many other accolades for design, architecture and regeneration.

Castlefield is now a place full of award winning architecture, life and innovation.

It is a destination for visitors to the city and a desirable location in which to live and work.
