Setting the standard in luxury living
2.
WELCOME
With 1,036 apartments covering an area of approx. 544,820sqf, X1 Media City is the largest residential development in the Northwest. The development itself consists of four iconic towers, each containing a mixture of studios, 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments. With spectacular views over the city and MediaCityUK, the apartments are available fully furnished in a high-end, elegant flair.
In addition to the luxury of theapartments, residents of this £200million development will benefit from further exceptional features. These include: underground residents parking, a private gymnasium and an on-site cinema. Furthermore, the first two floors in each building, a total of 22,700sqft of the development, are set aside fo commercial ventures, creating anintimate and at the same time vibrant way of living for residents of X1 Media City.
The location at MediaCityUK, found in the heart of Salford Quays, truly contributes to the cosmopolitan vibe of thedevelopment, as it is increasinglybecoming the place-to-be for creative and digital businesses. Salford, part of GreaterManchester, was crowned by TheGuardian in 2014 as the “UK’s Property Hotspot”, due to its property values having risen faster than anywhere else in the country. In July 2014, Salford even out-did the capital by nearly 4%, showing an annual growth rate as high as 12%. This large rise has been attributed largely to the relocation of British broadcasters such as the BBC and ITV to theMediaCityUK development.
X1 Media City undoubtedly demonstrates this trend in real life, as investors canexpect an assured NET return of 6pc within the first year of tenancy. Phase 1 of this residential development, that willcertainly set new standards in luxury living, is set to be completed in August 2016.

Total public and private investment into Salford Quays
currently stands at £1.4billion
INVESTMENT
Eight years ago, the BBC decided to move part of their business toMediaCityUK. Within this short time, the development site has come a long way. Located along the Salford Quayswaterfront, it benefits from one of the best direct city centre connections in all of the UK, through numerous tram and bus stops. Today, MediaCityUK is flourishing like never before, with already morepeople now working at the Quays than back in its prime as a major seaport.
MediaCityUK is the first purpose-built hub for creative and digital industries in Europe. An independent market report by the Policy Exchange revealed that MediaCityUK is anticipated to not only contribute more than £1billion into thelocal economy, but also supply it with more than 10,000 jobs.
At the moment MediaCityUK is home to over 200 businesses, including the University of Salford, the BBC and ITV’s Granada studios, in addition to several well-known programmes such as BBC Breakfast, Coronation Street and Match of the Day. In March 2012, HRH the Queen ceremoniously opened up the new BBC offices.
With the ever-growing media attention, MediaCityUK is increasingly becoming the world’s new “go-to-destination” - and this is just the beginning: The reputation and value of MediaCityUK are only going to improve over time, with development plans worth £20million currently submit-ted, to expand the site through further hotels, offices and film studios.
On top of these plans, the construction of Port Salford began in 2013. Essentially, this £138 million development will be a full conversion of the old Salford Docks, consisting of a 153,000sqm warehouse facility that will be the only inland, multi-modal distribution park in UK wide that can be served by all rail, road and sea.
The 150 acre conversion of Barton, Eccles and the Shipping Canal will not only lead to lower transportation cost for northern businesses, thus enhancing theircompetitiveness, but it will alsoguarantee a great economic and social boost through the creation of jobs. Set to be operational in 2015, Port Salford will have an exhilaratingly positive economic impact, not only on MediaCityUK, Salford and Manchester, but correspondingly on the entire northwest.

The design emanates from a four-tower principle that was established some time ago, and captured in two previous planning consents. Our re-design modernises the facades and updated the
internal accommodation to match the future demands for urban living accommodation in this important location.
The architecture is a taut skin that seeks to emphisise the verticality of the towers, whilst blending shades of grey cladding and glass to
create a distinctly contemporary addition to the skyline.
