Verta's expert insight

Manchester has very little genuine penthouse stock, and almost none of it sits at 38 storeys above the city with amenity space of this quality underneath. That scarcity is the whole investment case here; it is not a yield play and should not be modelled as one.

At around £1,100 per sq ft these are priced as prime owner occupier homes rather than investment units. The buyer pool is small but it is also not price sensitive, and resale on a floor 38 penthouse behaves far more like prime London than like the Manchester apartment market below it.

They are finished and available now, which means you can walk them before buying. We would strongly suggest doing exactly that at this price point, and we will arrange it.

Prices shown are the lowest unit available on the developer's current release and change as units sell, so ask us for the latest availability list before you reserve.
