Show home opens at Hulme's latest development

People searching for the perfect pad will this week have the first chance to view brand new rental apartments in Manchester’s newest property hotspot, just five minutes’ walk from the city centre.

The first show home at The Aaben development on Leaf Street in Hulme will open for viewings at 3pm today (Thursday 3 August). The new sustainable development will comprise of one, two and three-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom townhouses complete with roof terraces, with the first apartments available to move in to from September.

Those interested in the new properties, which are being developed by One Living, part of housing provider One Manchester, are being encouraged to register with Townhouse Lettings to make the most of a first month half price rent offer, which is available on a first-come-first-served basis for renters looking to move in to the apartments in September. With its thriving creative scene, Hulme has been tipped as Manchester’s next up and coming area, having benefitted from £400 million investment since 1990. With a host of independent restaurants, iconic views of Manchester and its proximity to the city centre, the 105 new homes at The Aaben development are expected to be snapped up.

Along with a high quality of build and energy saving additions, The Aaben also boasts attractive green spaces, allowing residents the chance to get away from it all, whilst only being a stone’s throw from the hustle and bustle of the city centre. Each property within The Aaben has been designed with quality, comfort and energy-efficiency in mind, meaning homes are built to last, will be better for the environment and will reduce energy bills.

Renters at The Aaben will have the added bonus of knowing that the rent they pay will be invested into other One Manchester projects, which aim to support communities and create safe, happy and prosperous places to live. Dave Power, group chief executive at One Manchester, said: “We are extremely proud of this development and it’s great to be so close to completion. We’ve had a lot of interest in these homes, so we are delighted to be able to welcome property hunters to view the show apartment from Thursday onwards. We’re confident people will be impressed with the apartment design and the development itself.

“There is a huge demand for quality homes in Manchester, particularly near the city centre, and we look forward to seeing people move into The Aaben from September onwards. This fantastic development is part of our commitment to build 1,000 new homes by 2021.”

After the opening from 3 – 8pm on 3 August, visits to the show home will be by appointment only, organised through Townhouse Lettings. For more information please call 0161 401 1788 or visit http://www.townhouse-lettings.co.uk/aaben/.
