Tribe, 2 Butler Street

Tribe apartments are a family of three contemporary residential blocks which were refurbished in 2015 and are located to the east side of Manchester city centre. The ‘Tribe’ domestic refurbishment project concept was to take three existing, empty, dilapidated and uninhabitable thirteen storey 1950s apartment blocks in inner-city Manchester and bring them back to life to create modern, affordable, spacious apartments with inner city-centre living. The existing blocks each contained sixty-two flats (186 in total), so two additional flats have been created at ground floor level, making a total of sixty-four flats in each of the completed refurbished blocks (192 in total). In addition, the refurbished buildings have been remodelled internally to create larger and more usable dwellings. Located just ten minutes walk away from both the northern quarter and Ancoats areas. Public transport links are also within easy walking distance along with a number of restaurants and bars.
