One of the city’s major residential developers, Dandara, has reported an up turn in both owner occupier purchaser and rental enquiries on its schemes in Manchester; suggesting that consumer confidence in the property market is perhaps not as low as industry commentators have been stating.

Strong Interest

The company has seen strong rental and sales interest over the month of February with sales enquiries up nearly 30% and rental enquiries up 15% throughout the month of February in comparison to January.

Peter Lackey, Dandara’s managing director said: “Prime city centre locations with a high emphasis placed on quality & design are central to the success of apartment sales and lettings rentals within the city. This continues to be popular with consumers, investors and tenants alike and our current level of enquiries underlines this.

Location, Design, Quality

“Developments which have less importance placed on location and design are most at risk from any consumers’ lack of confidence, whereas those who continue to focus on location, design and quality will always be in a strong position”

Dandara is currently building its second phase of Spectrum, located on Blackfriars Road, where it is showcasing its unique Concept style apartments.

Peter added: “Our new “Concept” design of apartments at Spectrum, where we took the creative move of eliminating the hallway to create a more spacious feeling apartment has received such positive feedback from both owner occupiers and investors that we have decided to continue this theme in our new prestigious Chapel Wharf scheme , which is due to commence this year once Spectrum Phase 2 is almost complete.”

Chapel Wharf

Chapel Wharf now has full planning consent from Salford City Council and Dandara is currently finalising plans for the first residential scheme in the city to have a full luxury spa, gym and pool facility. The development is situated in possibly the city’s most prime residential location – immediately adjacent to the famous luxury five star Lowry Hotel and the banks of the River Irwell.
