A city-centre address in Manchester’s regeneration zone
One Victoria is a new-build development by Zentra Group, just north of Manchester city centre in the Victoria North regeneration district — a £4 billion-plus programme reshaping the area around Manchester Victoria Station. The scheme is set over two blocks: One East (14 floors, 84 apartments, with a 10th-floor residents’ roof garden) and One West (10 floors, 45 apartments) — 129 homes in total, a mix of 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments. It is walking distance to Victoria Station, the Arndale Centre and the Northern Quarter, and now nearing completion, so investors are buying a near-finished building rather than an early off-plan promise.

Why investors look at Manchester
A large, fast-growing city-centre rental market with major regeneration — and prices well below London.

The numbers investors ask about
Local price trend, market rents by size, and current pricing — each with its source.
1 · Surrounding-area house prices
The average Manchester home is about £286,000 (ONS UK House Price Index, 2026) — below the North West new-build norm for the city centre and well under the Great Britain average. New-build city-centre apartments like One Victoria sit above the citywide average, as expected for prime, brand-new stock.

2 · Market rents & indicative yield
| Home | Manchester city-centre rent (indicative) | Indicative gross yield* |
|---|---|---|
| 1-bed apartment | ~£1,300 / month | ~5.0–5.9% |
| 2-bed apartment | ~£1,650 / month | ~5.0–5.5% |
*Indicative gross yield = market rent ÷ One Victoria asking price, for guidance only. Context: ONS reports Manchester-wide averages of ~£987 (1-bed) and ~£1,213 (2-bed); city-centre new-build commands a premium above the citywide figure. Estimates only — not guaranteed; actual rent depends on the specific home and market conditions.
