3 1 ALUMI BUILDIGS HISTORY 3 2 Ancoats has undergone a transformation in recent years. Gone is the post-industrial decline of the 20th Century and the area famously referred to by Frederick Engels as containing a vast number of ruinous houses, most of them being, in fact, in the last stages of inhabitableness, It has become a vibrant community on the edge of the City Centre. 4 The vast mills that once gave Manchester its nickname of Cottonopolis have been converted into desirable modern apartments; the creation of new public spaces such as the Cutting Room Square and the re-use of previously abandoned buildings such as St eter s Church, which is now occupied by the renowned Hallé Orchestra and Ensembles, and a comprehensive regeneration strategy providing a successful mix of commercial, leisure, residential and community buildings have combined to create a unique environment, a true urban village. 1 iccadilly Train Station 2 iccadilly Basin 3 Urban Exchange 5 4 Hallé St eter s & cutting room square 5 Victoria Square 4 ALUMIBUILDIGS.CO.UK 5

4 ALUMI BUILDIGS Fig. 1 Urban Village living ITRODUCTIO Alumni has two distinct characters. Alumni A, the conversion of the existing Victorian buildings fronting George Leigh St and Alumni B, a wholly modern addition to the corner of the site fronting both George Leigh St and Cotton St. The two building elements are arranged around a secure central courtyard garden area for residents. Alumni A, the larger of the two blocks, offers a carefully considered approach to the re-use of the buildings, the scale of the original generously proportioned floor-to-ceiling heights is improved through provision of mezzanine decks providing flexible space over living areas and key architectural features are retained. Large windows provide plenty of natural light to the generous living spaces, many with views over the City skyline. Ground floor homes have their own front door, either directly off George Leigh St or from the Courtyard. Fig. 2 Contemporary living in historic surroundings Alumni B provides the best of contemporary apartment living in a purpose-built, modern structure. Spacious and well-appointed, the building is a direct contrast to the Victorian conversion but suitably compliments its older neighbour. Internally however both blocks share many similarities, high quality finishes and build quality, German manufactured kitchens and premium bathrooms with fittings by Villeroy & Boch. We also offer a range of upgrades and bespoke enhancements to make your home at Alumni truly unique. In total the development provides a total of 20 homes comprised of generous 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments. Limited parking spaces are available however we are currently in the process of finalising arrangements to offer a subscription car club service operated by Alphabet, part of the BMW Group, which provides access to vehicles on a reservation basis as needed on a pay-as-you-go system. 6 ALUMIBUILDIGS.CO.UK 7
