Setting the standard in luxury living.1
WELCOME With 1,036 apartments covering an area of approx. 544,820sqf, X1 Media City is the largest residential development in the Northwest. The development itself consists of four iconic towers, each containing a mixture of studios, 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments. With spectacular views over the city and MediaCityUK, the apartments will be furnished in a highend, elegant flair. In addition to the luxury of the apartments, residents of this 200million development will benefit from further exceptional features. These include: underground residents parking, a private gymnasium and an on-site cinema. Furthermore, the first two floors in each building, a total of 22,700sqft of the development, are set aside for commercial ventures, creating an intimate and at the same time vibrant way of living for residents of X1 Media City. The location at MediaCityUK, found in the heart of Salford Quays, truly contributes to the cosmopolitan vibe of the development, as it is increasingly becoming the place-to-be for creative and digital businesses. Salford, part of Greater Manchester, was crowned by The Guardian in 2014 as the UK s Property Hotspot, due to its property values having risen faster than anywhere else in the country. In July 2014, Salford even out-did the capital by nearly 4%, showing an annual growth rate as high as 12%. This large rise has been attributed largely to the relocation of British broadcasters such as the BBC and ITV to the MediaCityUK development. X1 Media City undoubtedly demonstrates this trend in real life, as investors can expect an assured NET return of 6pc within the first year of tenancy. Phase 1 of this residential development, that will certainly set new standards in luxury living, is set to be completed in Q1 2017. 2.

Total public and private investment into Salford Quays currently stands at 1.4billion INVESTMENT Eight years ago, the BBC decided to move part of their business to MediaCityUK. Within this short time, the development site has come a long way. Located along the Salford Quays waterfront, it benefits from one of the best direct city centre connections in all of the UK, through numerous tram and bus stops. Today, MediaCityUK is flourishing like never before, with already more people now working at the Quays than back in its prime as a major seaport. MediaCityUK is the first purpose-built hub for creative and digital industries in Europe. An independent market report by the Policy Exchange revealed that MediaCityUK is anticipated to not only contribute more than 1billion into the local economy, but also supply it with more than 10,000 jobs. At the moment, MediaCityUK is home to over 200 businesses, including the University of Salford, the BBC and ITV s Granada Studios, in addition to several well-known programmes such as BBC Breakfast, Coronation Street and Match of the Day. In March 2012, HRH Queen Elizabeth II ceremoniously opened up the new BBC offices. With the ever-growing media attention, MediaCityUK is increasingly becoming the world s new go-to-destination - and this is just the beginning: The reputation and value of MediaCityUK are only set to improve over time, with development plans worth 20million currently submitted, to expand the site through further hotels, offices and film studios. In addition to these plans, the construction of Port Salford began in 2013. Essentially, this 138 million development will be a full conversion of the old Salford Docks, consisting of a 153,000sqm warehouse facility that will be the only inland, multimodal distribution park in the UK, that can be served by rail, road and sea. The 150 acre conversion of Barton, Eccles and the Shipping Canal will not only lead to lower transportation cost for northern businesses, thus enhancing their competitiveness, but it will also guarantee a great economic and social boost through the creation of jobs. Set to be operational in 2015, Port Salford will have an exhilaratingly positive economic impact, not only on MediaCityUK, Salford and Manchester, but correspondingly on the entire northwest. 8.

The design emanates from a four-tower principle that was established some time ago, and captured in two previous planning consents. Our re-design modernises the facades and updated the internal accommodation to match the future demands for urban living accommodation in this important location. The architecture is a taut skin that seeks to emphisise the verticality of the towers, whilst blending shades of grey cladding and glass to create a distinctly contemporary addition to the skyline. Michael Gardner, Regional Director, AHR ARCHITECTS AHR has a long-standing reputation for award-winning design and the creation of innovative places and environments where people live, work, learn and enjoy life. One of Europe s longest standing architecture and building consultancy practices, with experience dating back to 1835; AHR today is one of Europe s largest practices and has evolved into an international business encompassing 450 staff in 12 offices. Our collective experience and the creativity of our teams, combined with our commitment to innovation and design research, allows us to help our clients develop environments that respond positively to the particular challenges of a project and the wider social, economic and climatic issues we all face. We believe that good design is driven by our collective passion to explore the art of what is possible, irrespective of a project s size or complexity. In doing so, we use a full range of tools including creative thinking, technology, research and innovation along with project management systems that drive continuous improvement. The result is responsive design that is functional, transformative, meaningful and inspiring. We believe in a sense of place and the development of sustainable communities, an approach to design that considers and responds carefully to local cultures, lifestyle patterns and architectural languages both internationally and nationally. Our own teams are rich in diversity, culture and language, bringing skills and experience from across the world to enrich the design process. We never lose sight of the people who use our buildings, the communities they serve and the legacy we leave.
