The countdown has begun in Manchester as one of the most sought-after apartment ventures is down to its final few.

In a city renowned for its cosmopolitan lustre, apartment lovers have been quick to snap up the range of properties available at Redrow’s stunning Vie development in Castlefield, and now with just 12 properties left those still looking for a great apartment in an enviable location should act fast!

Vie has become a much sought-after postcode, thanks to its transformation into a sleek residential area.

Sonia Ross, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (Lancashire), explains: “Vie has been a success story since its launch two years ago, helping to regenerate the area and attracting a host of city slickers, investors and stylish young people. Almost 200 apartments have been sold and now we’re down to the final 12, those who want to own their own slice of uber-cool city life should hurry if they don’t want to miss out.”

“All of the remaining properties are located in the fantastic Vie Tower, which sits proudly at the top of the development and provides stunning views of the Manchester skyline. Those who buy here will be able to watch the city below from one of the best seats in the house.”
 

The Tower is the most recent addition to the development and it is here where home buyers will find their dream property. Vie Tower consists of six floors and is the perfect finish to this innovatively designed angular building.

Each of the 207 apartments has been finished to the highest of specifications, which even the most A-list home hunters will not be able to resist. 

Open plan living/dining areas, kitchens, hallways and bedrooms feature wood laminate flooring and contemporary slate grey floor tiling to the bathrooms finish off the high specification in the luxury apartments.  The master bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and two-bedroom homes feature an en-suite shower room.

Remaining properties at Vie are currently priced from £194,000 for a two-bedroom property.

As well as buyers seeking a chic home to call their own, investors in the development are reporting that they’ve had no difficulties finding a steady supplier of tenants to fill their properties.

The development is located in the Castlefield conservation area, bordered on two sides by the rivers Irwell and Medlock. All of the properties come with one allocated secure parking space included in the price, some have two.

A new penthouse show apartment has also just opened on the top floor of the venture, giving a fabulous sneak peek into what life is like at Vie. The two-bedroom property boasts a full length terrace and separate balcony, open-plan kitchen, living and dining area, bathroom and en-suite facilities in the master bedroom and is decorated in a luxurious and minimalist style.
