Location and transport
The scheme is at 70 Cornbrook Rd. Cornbrook is an interchange where several Metrolink lines meet, giving direct links to both the city centre and MediaCityUK. The area has seen heavy regeneration in recent years.
What the building has
Coffee shop and bar, gym, co-working lounge, meeting rooms, private dining and party room, cinema room, concierge.
Tenant profile
Professionals who reach the city centre and MediaCityUK in minutes. Media and technology employment is the main source of tenant demand in the area.
The yield
The expected rental yield the developer states is 6%. This is a projection, not a guarantee; the yield you realise depends on the rental market, the service charge and void periods. A yield worked out without deducting the service charge misleads.
Total cost
On top of the apartment price come stamp duty, legal fees, the land registry fee and, for a buyer living abroad, additional verification fees. You can work out your own scenario in the capital.works purchase cost calculator.
Risks and what to watch for
Completion is in the first quarter of 2028. On an off plan purchase, plan your mortgage offer window around the completion date. The penthouses are priced separately from the main stock and their liquidity differs too.
Alternatives in the same city
Our portfolio has other schemes in Manchester too. By entry price:
- Furness Quay: from £269,311, completed
- Obsidian: from £323,815, completion Q4 2026
- Velocity: from £327,522, completion Q3 2028
We can work out together which scheme fits your goal, based on your budget, your intended use and your exit plan.
