Top 10 Developments in City Centre - Box Works

Situated on the southern-edge of Castlefield, Manchester’s most sought-after city centre location, the Box Works is a large U-Shaped development with west-facing views of the adjacent canal. Box Works is part new-build, part-warehouse conversion and most apartments have quirky open-planned layouts, high-ceilings and solid wooden floors throughout.

The main new-build section faces Worsley Street and consists of one-bedroom loft-style apartments with full-height glazing, large internal winter balconies, 13-ft high ceilings and apartment sizes from 750sqft – as big as a standard two-bedroom apartment. The warehouse section of Box Works is located on the western side of the building and has an attractive Art Deco facade and dual-aspect views of the canal and the communal gardens, which is shares with neighbouring block, Timber Wharf. The communal spaces are very well designed with slate flooring and wooden walls and the apartments are very individualistic.

Because most apartments at Box Works were sold as empty shells, there is a wide variety of internal styles, from quirky glass-walled bathrooms to concrete-clad kitchens and stainless-steel bathrooms. You can walk to Deansgate in under 15-minutes and the nearby bars at Castlefield Basin are amongst the most popular in town.
