Manchester
The UK’s second city
Manchester embraces diversity with a population of 2.82 million. Forward-thinking innovation, a thriving culture and trend-setting lifestyle, it’s a city that has so much to offer.
What's Around
A city steeped in industrial history, Manchester is keen to grow on its past and has commenced a decade long plan to regenerate and reinvigorate the area.
As well as enjoying everything that Manchester has to offer, the enviable riverside location of Pavilion Wharf gives great access to the historic Castlefield area and is also in close proximity to Manchester city centre, unlocking the full potential that city living has to offer for residents.
Also, just a stone’s throw away, is Salford Quays and MediaCityUK. MediaCityUK is Manchester’s new waterfront destination, with digital creativity, learning and leisure at its heart and home to the BBC and ITV.
Manchester itself is a buy-to-let hotspot with international recognition as huge numbers of young people flock to the city, pushing up property prices and increasing demand for luxury apartments.
Manchester has great rail connections, with three major train stations in the city centre and London is just two hours away.
Connecting the UK & with the world
The new high speed railway, HS2, will ensure great connections to the capital and halve the journey time. A major milestone in the programme to bring high speed rail to the North.
Sites have been purchased by HS2, on behalf of the UK government’s Department for Transport in readiness for construction of Manchester’s brand new high speed railway station. Investment would see businesses, residents and visitors benefit from a 41 minute connection to Birmingham on HS2 (a 46-minute saving), with direct services from London Euston set to more than halve, cutting one hour and 12 minutes off the current fastest journey time.
