Introducing a new place to live and a new way to rent

We are currently on site in Manchester city centre developing our first co-living scheme, Square Gardens. It is the largest of its kind in the UK and introduces an exciting new concept for the rental market.

Our new concept is designed to bring people together to connect and share experiences. Our new apartments span three tower buildings with renters able to choose from an ensuite room in a shared apartment, studio or one bedroom apartment. Alternatively, they can even select one of our luxury penthouse apartments.

For our shared apartments, Square Gardens removes all the usual headaches associated with shared living. Everyone benefits from an individual tenancy agreement with one monthly fee, including all utilities, super-fast wifi and access to extensive social amenities and services.
