The Opportunity: Nickel & Dime will be
a unique opportunity for investors to
own a new, best-in-class Private Rented
Sector product for a captive audience.
Comprised of two, bespoke, 305 unit
towers, Nickel & Dime will offer a unique
lifestyle choice and is destined to become
a new living landmark for the city.
The St. John’s Neighbourhood: benefitting from an unrivalled
location, the towers are set at the heart of St. John’s; a new
city centre neighbourhood that will provide a place to live,
work and play. St. John’s will be the place for enterprise
and innovation; for culture; entertainment and leisure; a
game-changer for the city’s international profile. It will be a
neighbourhood containing 320 hotel bedrooms, 560,000 sq ft
of workspace, 240,000 sq ft of retail and 13 acres of
public realm. The cultural element to St. John's will be driven
by Factory, a £110m arts centre capable of accommodating an
audience of up to 7,300 people.
The St. John’s neighbourhood will be located directly adjacent
to Allied London’s Spinningfields business district, which over
the last decade has evolved to become home to over 165
commercial organisations. Through this it has also established
itself as a cultural, retail, leisure and restaurant destination
featuring some of the best independent bars and restaurants.
Spinningfields has completely repositioned the city, with
over 220,180 sq m (2,370,000 sq ft) of the highest quality
workspace, residential and leisure space developed across 15
institutional grade buildings.
The Developer: Allied London understand the importance
of research and design in the creation of any asset class, and
everything they do is created with the ambition to be best in
class. In Manchester, Allied London’s record in achieving this
is second to none, known as the leading developer of prime
property investments in the city and across the UK.
To date, research has been forensic and detailed, and now
Allied London believe they can create and deliver one of the
UK’s best residential property investments. Without doubt
Nickel & Dime will be Manchester’s best in terms of design,
location and service, making it one of the most significant UK
residential PRS opportunities to invest in.

St.John's is the new Manchester City Centre neighbourhood
that takes the best elements from neighbourhoods and
communities across the globe; promoting, supporting,
attracting and cultivating the very best in culture, enterprise
and living.
The Allied London masterplan contains 2,185 homes, which are
carefully positioned within a thriving environment, making it
the most desirable place to live in Manchester.
The vison for the living element of this ambitious and much
applauded masterplan is based on the theme of 'Village
and Sky'.
South Village and Manchester Goods Yard provide for a
unique style of urban living, all designed around the theme
of lateral living; spacious, well-appointed luxury apartments,
designed on the principles of contemporary industrial themes.
Homes that include roof gardens, outdoor entertainment
areas, utility rooms, loft ceilings, and industrial finishes;
accommodation befitting of a house in the Chelsea and
Dumbo areas of New York but also very much part of the
industrial heritage of Manchester and in particular the
Castlefield and St.John’s districts.
The Sky will see a series of classically designed towers,
offering a different lifestyle choice.
At 52 stories, The Tower at St.John’s Place has been designed
to the principles of classic tower architecture taking its
precedent from the early towers of Chicago and New York.
Simple, classic and elegant for luxury living, The Tower
at St.John's Place will provide apartments for ownership;
designed for personal and family investment. At the foot of
the tower, a luxury five-star hotel.
Nickel & Dime comprises of two PRS towers, forming
a community within their own right, making it a unique
opportunity for forward-thinking investors to create a new
Private Rented Sector (PRS) product for a captive audience.
Attitudes are evolving and renting is becoming the first choice
option for a huge selection of professionals and families. With
a growth in urbanisation, Manchester is more attractive than
ever and experiences in the arts, culture, retail, food and drink
are an ever-evolving draw to the city.

A place for creative, digital and technology industries to thrive.
A place where enterprise will flourish
alongside arts and performance.
For many, a choice to buy, to rent, to invest,
to live. A lifestyle choice throughout the
neighbourhood of villages and sky.
Breaking the mould and pioneering
the way for innovation.
An opportunity not to be missed, to invest in what
will be one of the UK’s most carefully crafted and
considered PRS investment opportunities.
A place to meet, create and engage.

Allied London have spent considerable time researching the
PRS model and have concluded that St.John’s provides an
outstanding opportunity to create a prime asset for this new
thriving sector of property investment. With the right design
and right location, PRS can offer investors an unequalled
investment opportunity.
Allied London know about getting things right. In London,
their Brunswick mixed use development is still one of the most
highly valued assets in the entire London investment market.
In Manchester, Allied London has created the best commercial
assets in the city which have obtained the highest rents and
the highest investment values. Importantly, these values have
been sustained and continue to be sustained, as evidenced
by their recent XYZ development, a commercial property
investment unmatched outside of London.
In Leeds, Leeds Dock has quickly established itself as the city's
newest and most sought after media and technology hub, a
mixed use scheme by the River Aire, with over 1,100
residential units.
Allied London understands the importance of research and
design in the creation of any asset class, and everything
they do is created with the ambition to be best in class. In
Manchester, Allied London's record in achieving this is second
to none, known as the leading developer of prime property
investments in the city.

The site for Nickel & Dime was selected due to its access to the
city along the riverside by foot, short distances to national rail
services and located alongside the UK’s most exciting cultural
destination, Factory.
Allied London appointed Denton Corker Marshall, London
based celebrated architects, following a rigorous design
competition between five PRS specialist designers.
High-quality design doesn’t just spring up anywhere; it needs
to be supported by an infrastructure of passion and purpose.
Architectural and structural design together with method of
construction is of paramount importance to PRS development.
An ability to contain building costs through the design
process is a honed skill of Allied London's, whose delivery and
construction track record is exemplary.
The ability to deliver Nickel & Dime is all about the design
and construction, but it is also about the definition and brand
philosophy of the product. Nickel & Dime is a lifestyle choice,
the choice to rent your home and live within a highly managed
and cared for environment, with in-built service and amenity.
Nickel & Dime will contain a raft of amenities all bookable via
the seamless app; 24/7 personal concierge services, secure
parcel and postage room, workspace lounges, library, all day
gourmet food market, restaurant, entertainment lounge, dog
walking & day care services, roof garden, home cinema, gym,
wellness studio for yoga and pilates, and regular social events
for the buildings tenants.

The façade concept for each building is to have a delicate
metallic skin; one in copper colour and the other in silver,
wrapped around a sleek glass block. The solid metal panels
making up this skin appear arbitrarily placed in elevation to
create a patterned effect. These sit on the front of glazed
panels resulting in an interesting, dynamic visual effect when
applied across such large areas of façade.
With each tower being wrapped with this same aluminium
panel system they become linked as a ‘couple’ in the St. John’s
masterplan. With the Dime Tower finished in a silver-grey
colour and the Nickel Tower in copper/bronze it gives the
impression of, say, playful siblings alongside the taller, mixed-
use tower.
Clear double-height shop-front glazing surrounds the ground
floor and the mezzanine areas, maximising the amount of active
facades facing on to the public realm and creating a dynamic
interplay between the resident’s internal amenity areas and the
exciting, urban street-life in the Village.
The cladding solution proposed for both buildings incorporates
the simplest, most cost-effective, construction methodology,
uses readily available materials and involves tried and tested
manufacturing processes.

Allied London have developed layout options for the typical
apartment floors to offer the greatest flexibility in determining
the final mix to suit the development model.
Typical apartment floor plans in each of the options create
the ideal mix whilst optimising the net areas for each. All are
accessed from a single central corridor directly located off
the centre of the building.
Allied London have centralised the mains service risers in
the core to maximize efficiency and also allow for landlord
maintenance access.
The bathrooms and kitchens are located back-to-back
throughout the floor plate to allow for shared riser space to
minimise cost. These risers are accessible from the central
corridor for maintenance by the landlord.
A floor-to-floor height of 3000mm gives an internal finished
floor-to-ceiling height of 2500mm in the living/dining areas.

The apartments have also been carefully
considered and designed to appeal to
the private rental scheme market. The
following key considerations and criteria
have been incorporated into the design
of the apartments.

and surrounding areas.
• Each habitable room within the
apartment has a minimum of one

As can be seen from the graph opposite, Manchester
has seen rapid growth in the creative and manufacturing
industries which accounted for 15% and 13% of take up in 2016
respectively. The employment profile of Manchester is now
relatively diverse, which should equate to greater resilience
to future shocks in the long-term. Key employment growth
areas going forward for Manchester are expected to come
from digital and creative industries, healthcare and other
professional services.

MANCHESTER
The population of Manchester is growing rapidly, putting
pressure on demand for housing across all tenures and all price
points. Demand is most pronounced for smaller households
and in particular, in the private rented sector.
Over the last ten years, the population of Manchester has
grown approximately 19% - the sharpest increase in population
in all cities outside of London. As can be seen from the graph
below – since 2001 there has only been one year in which the
population growth in Manchester was not higher than in the
rest of England.
FOOTBALL
The global brand of Manchester is driven by its 2 footballing
giants, Manchester United and Manchester City. Football
added approximately £330m to the Greater Manchester
economy in 2013. Much of this came from football tourism
with fans from abroad visiting and staying in the city.
TOURISM
Manchester is the UK’s second most visited city destination
and third most visited city destination by international visitors.
Manchester’s visitor economy continues to experience
sustained growth and is worth over £6.5 billion each year. This
is underpinned by a rapidly growing leisure market which has
almost monthly new restaurant arrivals, new hotel openings
and an impressive list of annual events. The Manchester leisure
market has been particularly strong with restaurant concepts
with the likes of the Corn Exchange, El Gato Negro and
Hawksmoor all recent openings. The city is now acknowledged
as the primary leisure location outside of London with an
increasing volume of ‘new to Manchester’ entrants attracted
on the back of its long term economic confidence and
buoyancy.
FACTORY
Factory is a ground breaking new arts and cultural
venue at the centre of St. John’s. The new home of
Manchester International Festival (MIF), Factory will offer
audiences the opportunity to enjoy the broadest range
of art forms and cultural experiences – including dance,
theatre, music, opera, visual arts, spoken word, popular
culture and innovative contemporary work incorporating
multiple media and technologies.

Manchester is the largest and fastest growing economy
outside of London and forecasts for private sector
jobs growth is expected to continue to outstrip the national
rate of growth.
MANCHESTER HAS
SHARPEST INCREASE IN
POPULATION OUTSIDE
OF LONDON
Over the last ten years, the population of Manchester has
grown approximately 19% - the sharpest increase in population
in all cities outside of London. As can be seen from the graph
below – since 2001 there has only been one year in which the
population growth in Manchester was not higher than in the
rest of England.
There is a high volume of single and couple households in the
city, which is expected to continue to increase by 8,000 in the
next ten years. This is largely driven by the high (and growing)
volume of students and young professionals in the city.
There are over 60,000 students at Manchester’s two
universities and a further 16,000 in Salford. Of these, 21,000
students are living in private rented accommodation, adding to
the pressure on existing rental stock.
All of this has contributed to huge growth in the Private
Rented Sector (PRS) over the last ten years, at 85%; well in
excess of the growth across the rest of the North West (54%)
and the rest of the UK (51%). This equates to over 26,000 new
PRS households in Manchester over the last ten years.

F O R H O U S I N G
Private renters are predominantly young adults; 49% of all 25-
34 year olds in Manchester are currently private renters; nearly
25,000 households. These renters are also relatively affluent;
there are over 20,460 existing renters who earn over
£30,000 pa and a further 5,510 in Salford, totalling 25,970
private renters.
Average earnings of residents in Manchester are currently
£28,460 pa, but are considerably higher (14%) for those who
work in Manchester but reside outside the local authority area,
at £32,485 pa. This indicates that there are a considerable
volume of affluent workers who commute into the city
centre, but do not live there. This is largely due to a lack of
high quality/luxury housing in the centre. As such, there is a
‘leakage’ of affluent ‘would-be residents’ from the city centre,
which St. John’s wishes to address by providing appropriate
accommodation. The local government are keen to maintain
a vibrant mixed community in the centre, and the economic
stimuli that these more affluent residents would inject. This
sentiment is at the heart of the local government’s drive for
more good quality housing stock in the centre.
The population of the city centre has trebled since 2006 and
now stands at 25,000. The age profile of the city is changing.
The largest shift has been the increase in the 25 - 29 age
group, which has expanded by 51% between 2001 and 2011. As
such, Manchester has a young (adult) population. The average
age of a Manchester resident is 29 years old, compared with 39
years old nationally.
Manchester has the youngest average age (29) of any UK city
and the highest proportion of residents between the ages of
20 – 34 (33.8%). Just 13% of the city’s residents are older than
60 (national average: 22%). The Office for National Statistics
(ONS) suggest that Manchester City Centre’s population will
increase by 12% by 2036, compared to a 10% rise in the Greater
Manchester area.
The graph below indicates the disposable income of people
living in Manchester compared to those in the North West and
the rest of the UK. The gap between Manchester and the North
West/UK is set to widen.
