Trilogy, 27 Ellesmere Street

Trilogy was completed in 2019 and comprises 232 one, two and three bedroom apartments across three blocks. Located in the heart of Castlefield – a rejuvenated inner-city conservation area now full to the brim with waterfront bars, green spaces, restaurants, galleries, canals and striking scenery. The development, which spans 165,000 square feet, is situated on Ellesmere Street and set across three buildings known as Trilogy North, Trilogy West and Trilogy East – all of which are centred around a landscaped courtyard. Facilities for residents include a fully equipped gym with Apple TV, a residents’ lounge with co-working space, communal gardens, cycle storage, 75 car parking spaces, and free tea and coffee. In addition, ultrafast fibre optic broadband will be available throughout the development. The development aims to provide a number of additional ‘lifestyle perks’ to set it apart from similar Build to Rent schemes, including security, a resident services team on hand 24 hours a day, a social calendar of events and a partner programme to open up opportunities for local businesses from personal trainers and beauticians to restaurants and bars. Every apartment is available furnished or unfurnished and has been ‘spaciously designed to achieve a sleek, contemporary interior filled with light’, with an open-plan layout for that greater feeling of space. Strong transport links are also nearby, offering easy access to the whole of Manchester. Deansgate is three minutes away by tram, Cornbrook Metrolink Station is a mere three minute walk from The Trilogy development and MediaCityUK can be reached in around 12 minutes. Equally, there are regular connections to the city’s main transport hub – Manchester Piccadilly – which is also approximately 12 minutes away.
