Over 120,000 students study at the city’s universities – The University of Manchester, Manchester Metropolitan University, and the University of Salford – filling its streets, cafés, and transport hubs. Yet, despite this thriving student population, the city is short by around 16,000 purpose-built student beds. Only about one in three students can secure dedicated accommodation, and the gap is growing every year.
Introducing Frederick Street, a new development by X1, a leading UK property developer. This project delivers modern, fully equipped studios in a high-demand Manchester location, designed to attract students quickly and keep them happy. Every apartment offers comfort, convenience, and style, exactly what students are looking for in a home away from home.
For investors, the opportunity is clear.
7% NET returns are assured for 10 years, with a secure rental contract and no hidden fees. Ownership starts from just £152,995 – giving you early access to a market where demand massively outstrips supply.
The location couldn’t be better. Students enjoy fast access to campus, excellent transport links, and the city’s cafés, restaurants, entertainment, and green spaces – all within walking distance. High demand ensures strong occupancy and steady returns from day one.
Manchester’s student housing shortage isn’t going away. Frederick Street gives you the chance to invest in a city that’s growing, vibrant, and full of opportunity – securing a high-yield property that works for you while meeting one of the city’s most pressing needs.
The development’s location is poised for significant transformation. The Salford Rise project, part of the broader Crescent Masterplan, is set to revolutionise the area. This ambitious £2.5 billion regeneration initiative aims to create a 15-minute neighbourhoods, providing residents with access to all their needs within a short walk or bike ride from their home.
A key feature of the Salford Rise project is the construction of an 11-metre-wide elevated walkway over Frederick Road, connecting the University of Salford campus to the Crescent Innovation zone. This ‘boulevard in the sky’ will enhance pedestrian and cyclist access, fostering greater community connectivity and supporting sustainable travel options for students and residents alike.
The project has secured £13.17 million from the government’s Levelling Up Fund and is expected to complete by 2026. The developments will also increase green spaces and tree planting in the area, with plans to create a community-facing public square for pop-up events and festivals.
