Manchester Regeneration Projects

Manchester has stacked up a collection of impressive regeneration projects over the years, completely changing the landscape of the city. A large amount of investment has been fuelled into the city to combat the current housing shortage.

NOMA

NOMA, is one of the most significant regeneration projects starting in 2010 and ongoing. The project has already cost a staggering £800 million and has created four million sqft of retail, residential, office, hotel, and leisure space. Business giants such as Amazon have since opened their headquarters there, the first outside of London.

Spinningfields

Spinningfields – otherwise known as the ‘Canary Wharf of the North’ as it has become the city’s new financial hub and restaurant district. Large companies such as PWC and HSBC now occupy this space. This regeneration consisted of a £1.5bn investment into 20 new buildings, for commercial retail and residential uses.

Liverpool Regeneration Projects

Liverpool is the best example of a regeneration success story. There have been so many regeneration projects in Liverpool, that it is hard to choose just one example.

Waterfront Development

With a £5.5 BN investment, the project will transform large stretches of the historic waterfront to create five new, dynamic neighbourhoods.

Why Should You Invest In Off-Plan In A Regeneration Area?

Off-plan developments in regeneration areas complement the revivals of the cities with contemporary demands and luxury amenities such as rooftop gardens, fitness suites, and cinema rooms – far more modern than traditional housing.

New residential developments are being built to accommodate the influx of residents and tourists that will result from the redevelopment when it is completed.

Short-term rentals are an excellent way to make high rental income because the developments are likely to be located in the heart of new modern areas with excellent infrastructure. Similarly, long-term rentals will accommodate the inflow of young professionals relocating to new positions developed as a result of the revitalization area.

Off-plan properties are often priced between 10% and 15% below market value, allowing you to invest in a brand-new home for less money. This, therefore, allows you to make a bigger potential rental revenue.

The capital growth potential is a big factor of off-plan investing especially in a regeneration area. Investing in an off-plan development in a regeneration region often leads to a price increase over time.

Off-plan investing allows you to purchase a property for around 15% less than its market worth, with the property likely increasing in value each year as the regeneration advances. Regeneration projects help to boost the economy by providing new amenities, which strengthens the whole property market and therefore the property value year after year.

When the time comes to sell your investment, there is also a straightforward exit strategy because the property will now be in a high-end location—likely an investment hotspot and will most likely sell quickly.
