The Outram, Manchester – City Centre Living Redefined
The Outram is a brand-new canalside development in central Manchester, offering a mix of one and two-bedroom apartments along with a few two-bedroom townhouses. Blending urban vibrancy with waterside tranquillity, it is perfectly positioned between Piccadilly and Ancoats at the edge of the Ashton Canal — giving residents a central city address with calming waterfront views.
The project is designed to foster community living, featuring modern on-site amenities such as a state-of-the-art residents’ gym, a stylish lounge/co-working space, and a landscaped rooftop garden with panoramic city views. Secure communal areas (including private gardens, storage rooms, and parcel lockers) further enhance convenience and comfort, truly redefining city-centre living for its residents.
For investors, The Outram presents an attractive opportunity. The development is scheduled for completion by Q1 2027, with prices starting from around £300,000. Gross rental yields are projected at approximately 6% net in the first year, and the long-term outlook includes strong rental growth and capital appreciation. Short-term lets (e.g. serviced rentals) are allowed with an anticipated 10-12% net rental yield, offering flexibility for buy-to-let investors.
A staged payment plan is available – for example, a £5,000 reservation, 20% on exchange of contracts, and the remaining 80% on completion – to facilitate the purchase process. The Outram is being developed by Xpercity (part of the BR2.0 Group), with construction by its sister company Big Red Construction, ensuring a high-quality build and long-term management support for the project.
