BROADSIDE BROADSIDE, RESIDE’S FIRST BUILD TO RENT SCHEME, IS CELEBRATING ITS THIRD YEAR OF OPERATION IN NEW CROSS IN MANCHESTER. For those that are not yet familiar with Broadside, it is a flourishing development located in New Cross consisting of 1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartments. The build-to-rent scheme combines quality interiors and design with a sense of community and a super pet-friendly approach to renting - Broadside is truly a place you can call home! As well as their apartments, tenants have access to a 24-hour concierge service, a co-working space, a rooftop lounge and a rooftop fitness studio. Over 500 residents now call Broadside home. Broadside was completed in the summer of 2020, which came with a number of operational challenges for the developers, constructors and Reside as an operator. Despite this, Broadside was fully occupied in under 12 months and the scheme has retained a near 100% occupation level since. Achieving full occupancy is a testament to the dedication, hard work and passion of Reside and its staff.
LOCAL AND PROUD, A FAMILIAR CROWD An integral part of Broadside’s ethos is to support local, and our regular tenant events are a great opportunity to action this. This August, the team at Broadside hosted its annual summer party, where tenants got to enjoy a rooftop Afro-Caribbean BBQ courtesy of Rita’s Reign, a DJ, beer pong and plenty of rum punch; as well as a Wellness Morning, which included a
pilates class, followed by fresh juices and protein-packed snacks from the popular Northern Quarter joint, The Green Lab. Events like these are always free for Broadside’s tenants to enjoy. The aim is to showcase what incredible independent businesses are on their doorstep and give tenants the experience of living in central Manchester.
A FOCUS ON WELLBEING Living in a city centre apartment has its benefits and these extend to wellbeing and sustainability at Broadside. Residents have access to a rooftop fitness studio equipped with a state-of-the-art Wexer system which delivers more than 1000 on-demand classes. Moreover, residents get access to affordable classes including yoga, pilates and contemporary dance. Broadside has two West-facing roof terrace gardens which are the perfect spaces for relaxation, socializing, or watching the sunset. Broadside is also nearby to green spaces, such as Angel Meadow and Cotton Field Wharf Marina. Residents are encouraged to live sustainably with free onsite cycle storage, clothes recycling and Wellbeing Mornings.

WHAT DO THE RESIDENTS THINK? “Amazing communal areas in a great location in the city centre. Would recommend with any size dog, even extra large dogs as our big baby settled in just fine, he even has a terrace to enjoy the sun!” Anabel “Beautiful flat, beautiful building, lovely neighbours. The renting process was made really easy. Me and my boyfriend are so happy! 10/10!” Ivane “The staff have worked very hard to make the building a lovely place to not just live but also socialise: everything is clean and tidy, the flats themselves are spacious and bright with plenty of light and there is a very secure car park for vehicles/bicycle. The rent includes WIFI which is super-fast” Muhammed “The roof is great during spring and summer and all communal spaces are well kept. I also appreciate the security measures in place, including gated access to the courtyard between 8pm and 6am and 24-hour concierge service.” Charlotte

whether that’s working from home, socialising or for times of much needed relaxation. Dedicated spaces for meditation, reading, or even physical exercise are becoming the norm as people’s homes adapt. In recent years, the landscape of interior has rapidly evolved, adopting more of a hospitality approach – in many cases blurring the lines between residential and hotel style spaces. Manchester for instance, has seen a surge of lifestyle focussed residential areas within the private rental sector that mirror the cool, elegant functionality of high-end hotels and restaurants from rentable dining rooms, lavish lounges, libraries, relaxation areas and even co-work zones. This paradigm shift is rooted in the principle of creating ambient and aspirational spaces, akin to the allure of boutique hotels and intimate cafes but accessible on your doorstep. Driven by the desire to infuse everyday living spaces with comfort and a sense of escape to elevate our everyday.
