Manchester East Regeneration | Investment Opportunity
Premium Off-Plan Development • Heart of Manchester’s £1.5 Billion Regeneration





Investment Overview
This exceptional investment opportunity sits at the heart of East Manchester’s remarkable regeneration story. Located in an area transformed by billions in public and private investment, this Grade II-listed former textile mill has been meticulously converted into premium residential apartments that honor Manchester’s rich industrial heritage while delivering modern luxury living.
The development capitalizes on East Manchester’s transformation into a vibrant hub for living, working, and entertainment. With SportCity – built for the 2002 Commonwealth Games – located just over a mile away, residents have access to world-class facilities including the Etihad Stadium and National Cycling Centre. The area’s continued investment and development make this an ideal location for both capital growth and rental income.
This striking six-storey red-brick development, originally designed by renowned architect George Woodhouse, features an iconic chimney that serves as a landmark in the area. The conversion offers luxurious one and two-bedroom apartments targeting young professionals who value proximity to Manchester city centre while enjoying the character and charm of historic architecture.
With Manchester’s rental market showing consistent strength and this prime location offering excellent transport links to the city center, investors can expect strong rental yields of approximately 10% NET, supported by the area’s ongoing development and the influx of young professionals seeking quality accommodation near major employment hubs.
