AMPLIFY APARTMENTS WHY MANCHESTER?
Inventors and Innovators
During the 18th century, Manchester became famous for its textile production. By building waterpowered cotton mills along Manchester’s sprawling canal network, the city went on to become a worldwide supplier of cotton. Manchester’s cotton and textile production grew throughout the industrial revolution, with the city being affectionately known as “Cottonopolis” due to its huge cotton exports. Even to this day, Australians still refer to cotton bedding as ‘Manchester’.
Manchester is also known for its pioneering thought leaders that have paved the way for modern cultural and scientific movements. Whether it was Alan Turing cracking the enigma code in World War 2, the landmark discovery of graphene, or Emmeline Pankhurst leading the fight for women’s rights, Manchester has been the birthplace of many iconic historical figures and the changes they’ve made to the world as we know it.

Over 100,000 students across 10 institutions, including the University of Manchester, Manchester Metropolitan and the University of Salford, are currently studying in the city. Manchester’s student population is thriving and bringing with it an increased demand for the best employment and social opportunities. With one of the highest graduate retention rates in the country, it’s no surprise Manchester’s students are calling the city their home after their education finishes and making the most of everything on offer.

AMPLIFY APARTMENTS WHY SALFORD QUAYS?
MediaCityUK
Salford Quays is on the Rise Salford Quays has put itself on the map as a waterfront community. It was 1894 when Queen Victoria opened up Salford Docks as part of the larger Manchester Docks, and it was thriving. So much so that it became the third busiest dock in the country with many of the cargo and sometimes, even passengers travelling to and from Canada. Fast forward nearly 90 years later, three years after the docks had closed, the Salford Quays Development Plan was introduced which cleaned up the water in the canal, brought fish to improve the ecosystem and concentrated on creating better links to the city centre. The result? It’s now flourishing with businesses and activities that are transforming the area, making it a desirable place to call home.

Manchester vs London With a rising number of employment, educational and social opportunities now available in Manchester, demand is rising for properties in the city. Over the next 10 years, 55,000 new properties are required in Manchester to meet current demands. Planned projects and completions in the past year are significantly falling short of this, meaning Manchester is now chronically undersupplied for available homes.
