Health and happiness go hand in hand and for that reason, we have created a state-of-the-art gym for our residents to enjoy, in the comfort of their own home. Our impressive fitness centre is split into two sections: the gym and the studio. The gym comprises world-renowned Matrix Fitness equipment, including many gym essentials such as treadmills, rowing machines, strengthening machines, and conditioning mats. The studio, on the other hand, is home to a revolutionary Wexer virtual fitness unit, featuring a diverse collection of over 1000 exciting workouts that can be enjoyed all day, every day. From Zumba to boxercise, keeping fit and socialising has never been easier or more accessible.

Nature is hard to come by in the chaotic streets of a busy city, but here atLOCAL Blackfriars, we have created a tranquil green escape for our residents to enjoy, right on their doorstep. Our beautifully landscaped communal garden is a south-facing sun trap, decked out with several seating areas and BBQ spaces for the ultimate summer experience. We encourage our residents to utilise this idyllic green garden for some downtime or to enjoy social gatherings in a private and secure setting.

Community is at the heart of our vision and it has been our ambition to create new and unique experiences for our residents to enjoy whilst living at LOCAL Blackfriars. Our incredible onsite cinema is one of the many ways we have achieved this; creating a large, shared room that has been fitted with cosy tiered seating, Dolby surround sound, and a 4k projector. Residents can choose from more than 100 national and international channels or can sit back and relax at our weekly movie night club. But if you have something special in mind, we would be happy to reserve the cinema, just for you.

We have put a lot of thought into the design of our complex and have even endeavoured to make our convenient, on-site laundrette as spacious, comfortable, and welcoming as possible. This bright and airy space houses a variety of washing facilities that are available to residents all day, every day. Decorated with chic, minimalistic furnishings, it also includes a working lounge area for residents to enjoy whilst waiting for their laundry cycle to complete.

A local pub is at the heart of every community and our new development is no different. Salford’s iconic, Black Friars pub, has stood proudly since the 1800s and still retains its Grade II-listed structure. Following a refurbishment in 2018, it has now been adapted to feature a unique bistro fronted by top chef, Aiden Byrne. Officially part of LOCAL Blackfriars complex, residents do not have to venture far to enjoy a top-quality meal and freshly pulled pint, after a hard day’s work.

We provide a 24-hour support service for our residents to make their lives as easy as possible. From missing parcels to lost keys, our friendly wardens are here to offer their service for any problem you may have. They are there to make you feel safe, supported, and happy in your home with us.

We believe that pets are part of the family and therefore support residents with small animals, such as cats and small dogs. You can rest assured that your pets will be safe playing and exercising in our spacious green garden if you do not have time to take them for a walk.
