Love your home for life.
THIS CITY is a new kind of housing company. We plan, finance and build homes in the communities that they are designed for.
Quality comes as standard, but the way we think about renting is different.
From generous low carbon living spaces to energy efficient features that keep costs down, we believe that places for rent can be your forever home, not just a stepping stone.
Add to that everything that city life in Manchester has to offer – world class culture, top restaurants, a vibrant community, great transport links and more. Much more.
And we’re wholly owned by Manchester City Council. So not only are you in safe hands but you can feel good knowing that the rent you pay goes to fund more homes and services that make a difference.
Why
Investing back into Manchester
The Mancunian spirit is at our heart every step of the way. Our developments blend different rental options including some at Manchester Living Rent. This creates choices and keeps things accessible to many, not just the few – whether this is your first home, a family move or a later-life relocation.
As a socially and environmentally conscious company backed by Manchester City Council we are in a unique position, which means our residents are too. The rent paid contributes to the next generation of housing and the future of the city. So you can feel good because you’re doing good by renting with us.
Why
Everything you need to live well
Our homes are modern, energy efficient and built with sustainability in mind, so you use less whilst doing your bit for the planet.
There’s space to breathe, inside and out. Living spaces are light, generous, well-thought-through and designed so you can put your own stamp on them.
We know how important amenities are, so we’ve thought about how we can make city living better. That’s everything from the little things, like power socket locations and great appliances, to the big things, like communal spaces and how we connect to the city around us.
And we take care of our properties. Our friendly facilities team will be on hand to help from day one of your move, so you can rest assured you will be taken care of too.
Why
Connected living
Feeling part of the community is one of the things that makes a place feel like home.
Some of that is in the details. Like planning spaces to mix, meet and make friends. And with our pet-friendly policy, your furry friends are welcome too.
It’s also our philosophy that rented homes can be for life. We think about how we can help the communities we are part of grow together, so you feel connected to each other and to this great city. It’s the Mancunian way.
Sustainably built, consciously developed
Our homes have had sustainability designed in from day one, from the building fabric to how it operates and the practical features inside. So you can be confident that how you live will be planet-friendly now and in the future.
For example, on No1 Ancoats Green we’ve hit current embodied carbon targets for all apartments and achieved 2030 targets with our Townhouse design.
Hot water is warmed by an air source heat pump, a super-efficient way of extracting heat energy from the air outside.
And all our homes are electric only – so you can choose a 100% renewable energy provider and live a net zero life by making a few simple choices.
