Location, location, location.

When we say ‘the city on your doorstep’ – we aren’t kidding. Bordering Ancoats, Poplin is just a couple of minutes’ walk to the Shudehill interchange, and five minutes to Victoria Station, and in turn, the rest of the world. It’s also a short walk to other city-slick spots such as Angel Meadow, Cutting Room Square and New Islington Marina – or onwards to any of the shops, bars, restaurants and supermarkets of the Northern Quarter and beyond.

Discover the Poplin Neighbourhood

Woven together.

Life’s better when it’s locally sourced. At Poplin, we’re all about giving back to the place where we put down roots.

Hello, city centre living.

Here, you’re the centre of our Universe. Perfectly positioned on the edge of Ancoats and New Cross, Poplin it’s a hop, skip or even a leisurely stroll away from Manchester City Centre – with Victoria Station just minutes from your front door. Say goodbye to rush-hour slogs and crammed carriages. It’s all about morning meet-ups, lunchtime dates or cheeky last-minute shops from here on out.

Good green fun.

From the people we partner with as part of our Neighbourhood Heroes program to the place you put your feet up, we make it super-easy to be super-sustainable. With easy recycling facilities, a fully-productive garden on the roof and beautiful parkland just down the road, we’re serious about sustainability.

Community on tap.

With shops, entertainment and some of the best food and drink spots in the North (although we’re a little biassed) – Poplin does social in spades. From our own beautiful roof garden that gives you space and sights for miles to our sun-soaked atrium, meet friends old and new in the comfort of your own home. Or discover the world beyond your doorstep and explore some of the best spots in Manchester, who’ll love to welcome some of the newest – and greatest – fresh faces. Whatever you plan to do, Poplin is the place to be for good company.

Locally sourced. Gorgeously made.

At Poplin, we’re all about the people that make up our bustling community. That’s why we work closely with incredible independent businesses – just a stone’s throw from our front-door. Whether that’s by working with them as Neighbourhood Heroes (more on that below) or sourcing our sustainable furniture from local artisans.

Socially responsible. As standard.

We know we have a responsibility to the people and place where we’ve built a home. That’s why we’ve curated a space that does good by the planet and the folk that live here, using sustainable and socially-conscious practices woven into the fabric of day-to-day life. The same goes for our rents, which aim to give something back to people who give so much – with 35% of our 144 units set aside for key workers at secure, lower rents. That’s because we’re all about the Bigger Picture, fuelled by affordable rents, good living and community that makes real, local change. Here at Poplin, if you plan to stay for a year – but end up here for five – that’s a win in our book. So come in, look around, make yourself at home.
