Globally recognised as the UK’s leading property investment city, Greater Manchester continues to attract international businesses and a growing resident population. Over the past decade, the city’s population has increased by 94,500 people (18%) and is projected to reach 630,000 by 2030. Major employers including BBC, ITV, Amazon, Microsoft, HSBC, The Hut Group and Boohoo have expanded their presence, reinforcing Manchester’s status as a powerhouse of growth and opportunity.

Manchester’s transformation is driven by major regeneration schemes that continue to evolve the city’s skyline:

• Victoria North – The largest regeneration project in the North West, delivering new homes, schools and green spaces.

• MediaCityUK Expansion – £1 billion investment doubling its size, attracting global media and technology companies.

• Regent Park, Salford – £1 billion regeneration scheme creating 3,300 new homes and commercial spaces.

• First Street – £350 million cultural and business quarter adding over 1 million sq ft of new offices.

• St John’s Quarter – A new creative neighbourhood focused on media, tech and culture, anchored by the £200 million Aviva Studios arts centre.

Together, these projects are reshaping Manchester, creating employment, infrastructure and a growing demand for high-quality housing.

Manchester is one of the UK’s leading academic hubs, home to five universities and attracting over 116,000 students each year, including 41,000 international students.

• The University of Manchester – A Russell Group institution consistently ranked in the global top 10 for impact.

• Manchester Metropolitan University – A leader in business, design and technology.

• University of Salford – A hub for media, engineering and digital innovation.

More than 51% of graduates remain in the city, ensuring a continual demand for quality rental accommodation and sustaining the city’s growing professional population.

This development delivers strong, consistent returns in one of Manchester’s most investable locations. With yields of 7–9% and projected capital growth of 31.2% by 2029, it offers reliable income and long-term value.
