Raising the BTR Standard
Cortland at Colliers Yard is a Build-to-Rent development unlike anything Manchester has seen before. It sets a new standard of luxury living in the city centre.
LOFT furnished 472 of the one, two and three bed apartments and townhouses at this landmark BTR development.
Cortland at Colliers Yard
At 500ft tall, Cortland at Colliers Yard is the seventh tallest building in Greater Manchester. It’s a modern vision which adds to the sophistication of the city centre skyline.
Upon entering, the grand foyer and staircase give a taste of the opulence to be found throughout the building.
This elegance is present in every single one of the multiple amenities. Not a single detail has been overlooked and every room feels bespoke and on brand. This development is reminiscent of a luxury hotel with amenities including:
• Fully equipped business lounge with meeting rooms and coworking spaces
• Bookable entertainment and dining suites
• Games room and club lounge
• State-of-the-art fitness centre
• Spin studio and golf simulator
• A large, landscaped park
• Outdoor terraces
Resident Experience
Beyond the exemplary amenities, another thing that sets Cortland at Colliers Yard apart in the BTR space is the resident experience it promises.
It’s a development which aims to improve the lifestyle of its residents. The Cortland team plan a calendar of events – from yoga sessions to BBQs – to encourage people to make friends and build a community. Plus, unlike many other apartment buildings, they welcome dogs and have pet-friendly amenities too. Residents can expect unparalleled, 24/7 customer service to help with any issues that arise.
“We believe in a better life where hospitality is always a given, each detail is worth a second thought, and every moment is an opportunity to go beyond expectations.” - The Cortland company motto.
This all mirrors LOFT’s people-first design practices. We take great care to design interiors for the people who will be living there - envisioning their journeys, meeting their wants and exceeding their expectations of accommodation.
It’s the basis of every LOFT interior design project. It shows potential residents the aspirational lifestyle they could have by living at that development, and once they move in, they enjoy a seamless living experience with everything they could need conveniently there.
Interior Design Style service
Cortland at Colliers Yard wanted the very best for their development and so for the apartment and property interior design they chose LOFT. As well as sharing Cortland’s values of providing exemplary experiences for the residents, LOFT are the market leader in the Build to Rent industry.
The apartments and townhouses were an incredibly high-spec foundation to work from. They are light and airy, with floor-to-ceiling windows, high quality kitchens with integrated appliances and kitchen islands, as well as elegant herringbone wooden flooring. Therefore, we wanted to celebrate these features and the innate style of the properties and development.
Stylish, modern, dynamic and elegant.
These were the words LOFT chose as the inspiration for the 472 properties we were furnishing.
The apartments were to become the ultimate city retreat. With the excitement of the development and Manchester on the doorstep, we aspired to create sanctuaries where residents could truly relax, so we included with touches like a large, comfortable sofa and a 5ft bed with a upholstered headboard to retreat after a long day.
Installing the apartments
One of the first priorities was to furnish two show apartments – the 1 and 2 bed apartments – for potential residents to envision what their lives could be like living in this skyline development.
Then, LOFT started to furnish the other 472 properties. In total, it took only 52 working days to install the entire development.
During peak season, we increased this frequency, so we were installing 60 apartments a week, with installation operatives on site and multiple deliveries every day.
This incredibly fast delivery was possible thanks to the fact that LOFT has in-house delivery, installation and project management teams – enabling us to work seamlessly together.
