Top 10 Developments in City Centre - Century Buildings

Located on the western-edge of the city centre, Century Buildings is the second most-expensive apartment block in Manchester with 1-bedroom apartments ranging from £695 to £850pcm and 2-bedroom apartments priced from £1,150pcm to £1,500pcm. There are two separate sections to Century Buildings; a 1960s office conversion and a Grade-II listed Edwardian warehouse.

Both sections of the building have dual-aspect views with west-facing views of the River Irwell and east-facing views of St. Mary’s Parsonage, one of the few public parks in the city centre. The 1960s office conversion is the brighter and more contemporary building with full-height windows, large corner bedrooms and wide decked-balconies, whilst the Edwardian conversion is more quirky and is filled with original features from wooden-panelled walls to ornate plastered decorative ceilings and open fires. The river-facing apartments are the most popular because they offer rare west-facing water views and some of the widest glass-fronted balconies in Manchester.

Century Buildings is very well finished inside with expensive kitchens, marble work tops and solid wooden floors and the location is very central; you can walk to the boutique fashion shops on King Street in a couple of minutes and it’s next door to House of Fraser, Manchester’s most famous department store.
