BUILD TO RENT IN MANCHESTER: QUESTIONS

How many build-to-rent schemes are there in Manchester?
The directory lists 81 published build-to-rent schemes in Manchester, together accounting for 20,412 homes where a unit count is recorded. 74 are operational, 4 under construction and 3 in planning. The count is generated from the live database, so it changes as schemes are added or move status.
Which operators run build-to-rent buildings in Manchester?
43 different operators run build-to-rent schemes in Manchester. The most active by number of schemes are Four Corners, Allsop and Greystar (Four Corners: 7, Allsop: 5, Greystar: 5). Each operator profile lists every scheme it manages in the directory.
What is the largest build-to-rent development in Manchester?
By recorded unit count the largest is Chapel Wharf with 995 homes, followed by New Maker Yards (821 homes) and Former Stocktons Site, Great Ancoats Street (723 homes). 5 schemes have no unit count recorded yet and are excluded from this ranking.
Are there build-to-rent homes under construction in Manchester?
Yes. 4 schemes are under construction and 3 are in planning in Manchester. The next to complete are Cross Keys (2027), Trinity Heights (2027) and Riverpark Road (2028).
What is the difference between build-to-rent and a normal rental?
Build-to-rent homes are purpose-built or acquired for renting and held by a single professional owner, with an on-site or dedicated management team, rather than let individually by private landlords. Tenancies are typically longer and more flexible, and buildings often include shared amenities. Read how the directory defines build-to-rent.
