Nestled in the heart of MediaCityUK, the High Definition development offers a premium residential mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments across its Alto and Aria towers. With its striking waterfront setting in the highly sought-after Salford Quays area, it delivers both contemporary design and excellent connectivity to Manchester city centre. The interiors feature integrated Bosch appliances, smart home technology, designer fixtures and large-format windows that maximise natural light and frame views over the quays.
High Definition stands out for its lifestyle-oriented amenities under the ‘Club HD’ banner, including a dedicated residents’ lounge, co-working meeting pods, outdoor podium terrace, concierge and barista-style coffee service on site.

Market Summary
Manchester Property Investment Market Trends and Performance
The Manchester buy-to-let property investment market exhibits remarkable stability and growth. Prices in the region are forecast to increase by 31.2% by 2029, significantly outpacing many other UK cities. This resilience is supported by the consistent demand and a persistent housing undersupply. While average house prices stand around £249,000 (far below the UK average), this affordability combined with high rental growth makes property investment in Manchester ideal for investors seeking strong leverage and capital appreciation.
Yields
Manchester Buy-to-Let Rental Yields and Income
Manchester is consistently ranked as one of the UK's best cities for buy-to-let rental yields, averaging 6.35% - 7.0% across the region. Demand is driven by three key factors: 100,000+ students, a thriving tech and finance sector, and the sheer volume of young professionals migrating North for better value. Postcodes near universities (e.g., M14) offer yields up to 9% via HMO strategies - making it a viable strategy for investors interested in student property - while the city centre (M1, M4) commands high rents from corporate tenants.
Regeneration
Economic & Regeneration
Manchester's growth is regeneration-led, creating entirely new buy-to-let property investment opportunities:
- MediaCityUK (Salford Quays): Home to BBC and ITV, this hub continues to drive demand in the M50 and Salford postcodes, attracting high-earning media and tech professionals.
- Northern Gateway / Victoria North: This 15,000-home, long-term regeneration plan aims to revitalise areas immediately north of the city centre, offering significant future capital growth potential in currently more affordable zones.
- Mayfield Project: A 24-acre urban neighbourhood near Piccadilly, featuring Manchester's first new city-centre park in over a century. This mixed-use scheme boosts appeal and property values in the East side of the core.
Connectivity
Manchester Transport Links: The Power of the Bee Network
Manchester's transport system is a key driver for tenants, ensuring high desirability for commuter properties.
- The Metrolink: The city's extensive light rail system is the backbone of local connectivity, linking the city centre to suburbs like Altrincham, Eccles, and the Airport. Properties within walking distance of a Metrolink stop attract premium rents.
- National Rail: Manchester Piccadilly is a major national hub. The future HS2 station planned for Piccadilly will further integrate Manchester into the national rail network, supporting city centre property values.
- The Bee Network: The comprehensive, integrated transport system (bus, tram, rail) prioritises ease of movement, directly benefiting renters commuting into the central business district and Salford Quays.
- Manchester Airport: The UK's third-busiest airport provides essential global and domestic connectivity, underpinning the region's strong economic appeal to international firms.
