21.8 million people will be renting privately by 2025. At Circle Square two new build to rent residential properties on plots 5&6 and 7&8 aim to bring together like-minded people to create a creative community in the city centre.

The apartments are designed with extensive residents’ amenities, to encourage social interaction, spark friendships and allow residents to share experiences. Residents have access to lounges, co-working suites with associated meeting rooms, gym facilities, bookable private dining rooms, roof terraces with neighbouring lounges, leisure studios and secure cycle parking, all managed by Vita Living and accompanied by a bespoke app for residents.

Located at the north end of Symphony Park, 5&6 Circle Square provides 411 one, two and three bedroom apartments and studios expressed as three blocks - a take on a ‘Unite d’habitation’.The tallest of the blocks marks the top of the green, creating a beacon for the masterplan.

Inspired by Manchester’s historic brick and faience buildings, the facades are clad in an earthy red bespoke profiled ceramic, which tones with the other buildings within Circle Square.

7&8 Circle Square is positioned at the centre of the masterplan and provides 266 build to rent apartments which face onto Symphony Park and give views over Manchester and the River from the roof terrace.  

The building forms an elegant and calm backdrop to the green using white bespoke profiled ceramic cladding that contrasts the earthy tones of the perimeter buildings and creates a modern interpretation of the local Victorian architecture.

Circle Square is a buzzing and atmospheric neighbourhood, right in the heart of Manchester.
