Penthouse living just got better

12th September 2007 Print
Penthouse living is not for the faint-hearted and Gladedale Manchester’s mansions in the sky at Tempus have taken luxurious living to a new high. Standing 200 ft high with breathtaking views across Manchester city’s skyline, these homes are nothing short of extravagant.

With just six prestigious penthouses available, Gladedale Manchester – formerly Country and Metropolitan Homes North West – expects Tempus will very quickly become a highly sought after address.

Situated at the top of Deansgate, Tempus is the jewel in the crown in Manchester as it perfectly combines the new build Tempus Tower with three sympathetically restored Grade II listed Royal Mail buildings: the Administration Building, the Sorting Office and the Bay Building.

Tempus is in a prime location in the city centre as it is just across from the Manchester Arena and Harvey Nichols, it’s also close to the lively Printworks as well as numerous bars, restaurants and cafes.

The development is one of the most striking and ambitious residential projects in Manchester and features 219 homes. The homes also benefit from secure underground parking and a 24-hour concierge.

Located on the top two floors of the Tower, the penthouses are the epitome of social sophistication and Gladedale has gone to great lengths to ensure that buyers here will experience the lifestyle of a lifetime.

Gladedale has added a luxurious Hot Spring hot tub to the long list of luxurious items in each of the generously sized penthouses. Found on the properties’ expansive decking, they will make others bubble with envy.

Greg Mulligan, Regional Director for Gladedale Manchester, said: “The Tempus penthouses are really something special. We’re delighted that we can now open the doors to show them off to everyone. We’re looking forward to seeing buyers’ reactions as they see and feel the quality for themselves.”

Interior designer Maxine Livesley of Interior Motives is behind the sleek, sophisticated style. She said: “Penthouses are an architectural expression of success and we wanted to demonstrate how Tempus can help you achieve your utmost desire.

“Most of the items in the show apartment are handmade sing the finest leathers and fabrics and simple, well cut Italian-style furniture. We’ve also used oversized and daring wall art that has just been launched in the UK so there are some items in this penthouse that have never been seen before.

“The expansive decking area around the penthouses provides the perfect opportunity to dine al fresco, and the hot tub is ideal for those summer evenings to enjoy a glass of champagne in style with the Manchester skyline and beyond as a backdrop.”

The two bedroom penthouses are available in a selection of layouts. All the properties have a generously sized open plan living room and kitchen, with space for formal dining. The master bedrooms each have classically designed wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom and the second bedroom has access to a good sized family bathroom. Most of the penthouses can access the decking area from the entire property.

Available to buy now, these penthouses are the epitome of cool and are now ready for occupation.

Penthouse prices start at £425,000.

The show apartment is open daily from 11am – 5pm. A personal visit out of these hours can be arranged upon request. Alternatively, visit the website at Tempus-apartments.com.
