Last night me and the gang from Urban Splash, No Chintz and Rejuvenate welcomed more than 100 esteemed guests to our newly fitted out apartments at Albert Mill in Manchester.

It’s the first time we’ve thrown the doors open to the homes which include a loft apartment and a huge two bed, two bath offering, each of which have been designed to a high specification, maximising space and featuring some unique furniture. The evening started with a fashion show, cleverly staged on Albert Mill’s external walkways, watched by guests who were gathered outside under a marquee. We then moved our way around the new show apartments stopping off in each one to collect a drink and goodies including beauty products and some gorgeous cupcakes.

The reaction to the building was superb and people had lots to say about the unique lighting that was supplied by Deadgood as well as the sizes of the homes which take advantage of the depth that this former Victorian Mill provides.

Although we only had two fitted out homes to show at the building last night, there are a further eight in the pipeline so to register your interest, or for a look around the building drop our sales team a line by emailing live@urbansplash.co.uk.

A sneak preview…

As Christmas is approaching we wanted to treat you to a little insight into what we’ve got coming up in the new year. I’ve been working with architects Maurice Shapero to design a couple of apartments at our Albert Mill development in Castlefield, Manchester.

Albert Mill is one of the last Victorian mills of its kind left in Manchester and we’ve restored the building to create 21 shell apartments and 9,206 sq ft of office, retail and leisure space. Inside the space is amazing! Exposed brick, timber beams and cast iron columns – loft style living at its best. The first residents are enjoying living at Albert Mill, having created their own interiors to suit them, and we have a handful of apartments left.

We were introduced to architect Maurice Shapero during the competition to design the bookend for Tutti Frutti at New Islington. We really liked his work and enlisted him to design a stripped-back one bedroom apartment in a traditional, raw, Manhattan Loft style; and a spacious two bedroom/two bathroom apartment that shows off all of the building’s original features.

Without giving too much away we can tell you that the one bed has a ‘jigsaw door’ theme, and the bathroom has a frosted glass wall backlit by LED lights providing background lighting to the apartment.

The two bedroom apartment has a huge open plan living space with dual aspect; you can really imagine entertaining your friends in this vast area.

Anyway, that’s enough to whet your appetite for now. If you think you would be interested in one of these new apartments drop us a line at live@urbansplash.co.uk to be the first to see them. Otherwise we will be able to reveal all in the New Year.
