COM
 THE UK’S ORIGINAL
MODERN CITY
Manchester has a history of world firsts, paving the way with a wealth of innovations
and ideas produced over decades. We split the atom, created the programmable
computer, campaigned for women’s suffrage and produced countless musical
movements. This is a city to be admired and replicated – not just in the UK, but
worldwide.
Raw entrepreneurial spirit, ambition, creativity and pioneering methods of working
are in our DNA. We don’t just face the future, we create it. Vision and hard work are
woven into the fabric of our great city, and it’s why this is a place where productivity
and progress are paramount. If New York is the city that never sleeps, Manchester
is the city that never stands still.
Like many who have shaped our city, we set out 30 years ago to break new
ground and develop iconic offices, hotels and homes. By raising the design bar in
Manchester, we have achieved record rentals reflecting our quality and timeless
style.
Purposefully named Alliance, we build, support and collaborate with carefully
selected partners – an approach which has brought us great success and many

Our three buildings at Uptown have been named with Manchester’s heritage in
mind: Graphene, Enigma and Element. This homage to the profound historical
influence of our city reflects our responsibility to continue pushing the boundaries
of architecture and design in our work. Welcome to Uptown.

 ELEMENT ENIGMA GRAPHENE

A CITY OF FIRSTS
The birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, Manchester boasts
25 Nobel Prize winners who broke new ground with world-
changing discoveries.

This resourceful city has witnessed radical historical moments including the
invention of the first programmable computer, the splitting of the atom and
the modern discovery of graphene, a super-thin, highly-conductive material
which has the potential to revolutionise many different sectors.

We have named the three buildings in Uptown to reflect this illustrious past.

ELEMENT
Element is a celebration of two exceptional pioneers – Ernest Rutherford, the
man who split the atom, and John Dalton, the meteorologist and atomic theorist
who is recognised as the father of modern chemistry.

ENIGMA
Enigma is named to acknowledge the work of Alan Turing, the inventor of the
programmable computer, who conducted his work at the University of Manchester.
His advancements in computing laid the foundations for the information age, and
his work during World War Two cracking the German Enigma Code was vital to
the Allied victory.

GRAPHENE
Graphene is named for the atom-thick, two-dimensional material at the heart
of a new manufacturing revolution which was discovered in Manchester by
Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov. Lightweight, incredibly strong and highly
conductive, graphene has the potential to transform technologies in every walk
of life, from solar power to flat-screen devices to disease detection, and beyond.

 Making more of Manchester

Conceived by award-winning
visionaries. Inside and out.
Property Alliance Group (Alliance) is Manchester’s leading
cross-sector developer, with £375m of developments
currently underway or in the pipeline.
Established for three decades, Alliance is committed to
producing award-winning developments which stand the
test of time. Our determination to inspire, scrupulous
attention to detail and the specialist expertise of our team
allow us to constantly raise the bar.
We take great pride in our residential developments and
craft everything with the resident in mind - and Uptown is
an outstanding example of this. The focus on sustainability
and technology-led innovation has led to the creation of a
unique building which works for the people who call Uptown
home.

A STRONG ALLIANCE
It is important to everyone at Property Alliance Group that our
developments are as environmentally friendly as possible, and that
the sustainability of our buildings is considered at every stage of the
construction lifecycle and beyond.
We have achieved this at Uptown by working with leading industry
figures to make use of innovative modular construction techniques
which greatly reduce the build time, transportation needs and energy
usage of the development. Furthermore, no concrete has been used
in the apartments, with cross-laminated timber (CLT) being preferred
thanks to its highly recyclable nature, improved fire safety rating and
lower overall carbon costs.
The 156 apartments at Uptown are made from 312 individual modules
which take only 24 weeks to manufacture off-site in a special factory
facility. Installation takes a further eight weeks, and practical completion
follows just 12 weeks after that. Modular timber construction uses tried
and tested materials and techniques in a revolutionary way - and we are
proud to be part of it.
What’s more, Uptown incorporates state-of-the-art Wondrwall
technology which adapts to your daily routine to make your heating
and hot water usage up to 50% more energy and cost efficient. This
intelligent system is controlled by an app and provides instant quality of
life improvements for residents.
