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 the
apartments, 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 an
intimate and at the same time vibrant way
of living for residents of X1 Media City.
2.
The location at MediaCityUK, found in the
heart of Salford Quays, truly contributes
to the cosmopolitan vibe of the
development, as it is increasingly
becoming the place-to-be for creative and
digital businesses. Salford, part of Greater
Manchester, was crowned by The
Guardian 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 the
MediaCityUK development.
X1 Media City undoubtedly demonstrates
this trend in real life, as investors can
expect an assured NET return of 6pc
within the first year of tenancy. Phase 1 of
this residential development, that will
certainly set new standards in luxury
living, is set to be completed in Q1 2017.

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 to
MediaCityUK. Within this short time, the
development site has come a long way.
Located along the Salford Quays
waterfront, 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 more
people 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 the
local economy, but also supply it with
more than 10,000 jobs.
8.
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 submitted, 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, multimodal 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 their
competitiveness, but it will also
guarantee 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.
Michael Gardener, Regional Director, AHR
ARCHITECTS
AHR has a long-standing reputation for
award-winning design and the creation
of innovative places and environments
where people live, work, learn and enjoy
life.
One of Europe’s longest standing
architecture and building consultancy
practices, with experience dating back
to 1835; AHR today is one of Europe’s
largest practices and has evolved into an
international business encompassing 450
staff in 12 offices.
Our collective experience and the
creativity of our teams, combined with
our commitment to innovation and design
research, allows us to help our clients
develop environments that respond
positively to the particular challenges of
a project and the wider social, economic
and climatic issues we all face.
24.
We believe that good design is driven by
our collective passion to explore the art of
what is possible, irrespective of a
project’s size or complexity. In doing so,
we use a full range of tools including
creative thinking, technology, research
and innovation along with project
management systems that drive
continuous improvement. The result is
responsive design that is functional,
transformative, meaningful and inspiring.
We believe in a sense of place and the
development of sustainable communities,
an approach to design that considers and
responds carefully to local cultures, lifestyle patterns and architectural languages
both internationally and nationally. Our
own teams are rich in diversity, culture
and language, bringing skills and
experience from across the world to
enrich the design process.
We never lose sight of the people who
use our buildings, the communities they
serve and the legacy we leave. Design
and sustainability are inseparable and as
such we continue to focus our research
on reducing the gap between design and
real life performance. Responsibility is
part of our core values.
We care about the impact our work has
on the world and we are here to make a
positive difference.
