Yes, our homes can be fully furnished with a thoughtful furniture pack appropriate to the size of the property, giving you what you need from day one.

You’ll be able to call No. 1 Ancoats Green home from July 2025. Register your interest to keep informed of our launch date:

We offer flexible lengths of tenancies depending on your needs, with a minimum tenancy of 6 months.

Our rental values will be set when we launch this summer and there will be a blend of great value, high quality homes. What’s more, a minimum of 20 per cent of the homes will be available at the Manchester Living Rent.

And we’re as invested in you staying with us as you are, so we will be totally transparent about your rental agreement. That means clear communication, no sudden increases and fair, market-tested rents from day one and for the long term.

Of course – subject to you agreeing to our pet policy, your pet is more than welcome!

THIS CITY is a new kind of housing company. We plan, finance and build homes in the communities that they are designed for.

THIS CITY was established in 2021 with a mission to help meet the demand for high quality, low-carbon rental housing, and to do that with ‘a Manchester accent’.

Sustainability is the cornerstone of everything we do. Our homes have had sustainability designed in from day one, from the building fabric to how it operates and the practical features inside.

Our strategy looks to the long term by designing community-focused developments that foster human connection and strengthen existing communities. And whilst actively supporting inclusivity and diversity through the variety of rental choices available, we’re working to help new communities flourish.

Because we’re backed by Manchester City Council, you know some of the rent you pay goes back into the city your call home, funding things like more homes and public spaces. So every resident is making a difference just by living in one of our homes.

We believe that places for rent can be a forever home, so our design and build philosophy focuses on creating generous low carbon living spaces with energy efficient features that keep costs down.

Our homes are designed to help residents secure long term, stable housing. We’re doing this by taking a modern approach to the rental market and applying Mancunian values to how and why they are financed, built and managed.

We also strive to bring the Mancunian spirit to what we do – by designing community focused developments that foster human connection and strengthen existing communities.
