Select Property Unveils One Port Street, Manchester’s new luxury development, further attracting Saudi-based investors

– Select Property launches One Port Street, its £195 million residential development in Manchester, with Saudi clients now accounting for 33% of apartment ownership within the project.
– The move reflects growing demand from Saudi investors for high-quality, lifestyle-led residential developments in global cities, and marks a strategic expansion for the UK developer in the Kingdom.
– This announcement comes off the back of Select Property opening its Riyadh office as the first UK developer to establish a permanent presence in Saudi Arabia, strengthening support for Saudi client demand and ties with the UK property market

Riyadh, 1 February 2026: Select Property, a leading UK-based property developer and investment partner, has launched One Port Street, a major new luxury residential development in Manchester’s Northern Quarter. As the first tenants move into the highly anticipated £195 million building, the landmark scheme represents a significant milestone for the area, introducing a new standard of premium living to the Northern Quarter.
The opening of One Port Street coincides with Select Property’s strategic expansion in Saudi Arabia, with the launch of its Riyadh office and the appointment of a locally based sales team to support growing interest from Saudi clients seeking international residential opportunities. This move builds on more than 20 years of supporting Gulf investors in diversifying into UK property, with Saudi Arabia long established as one of Select Property’s core markets. The company’s permanent presence in the Kingdom enables it to better serve existing clients while opening new pathways to UK real estate for new investors.
Located on Port Street, the gateway to the Northern Quarter, the 32-storey building marks Select Property’s flagship and most premium residential offering to date, delivering a five-star boutique hotel feel and the highest specification luxury apartment experience in Manchester.
One Port Street places residents at the heart of Manchester’s most creative district, forming a brand-new residential community with independent restaurants, music venues, and cultural destinations on its doorstep. Residents of the 477 open-plan apartments benefit from access to a 186 sqm swimming pool and spa pool, the first in the Northern Quarter, alongside integrated changing facilities and a landscaped urban garden set within 2,044 sqm of newly created public realm.
The amenities at One Port Street include a standout arrival experience centred around a 360-degree firepit, designed to capture the relaxed yet social atmosphere of a private members’ club. This spacious, light-filled area features thoughtfully designed co-working spaces, informal lounges, and the discreet ‘Hideout’ room, a concealed speakeasy-style retreat for residents.
The development also features a spacious, state-of-the-art gym overlooking the public realm, equipped with a wide range of training equipment and rivaling leading private members’ gyms, all included within the rental experience. Dedicated yoga and barre studios further enhance the wellbeing offering available to residents.
On the seventh floor, Paganini’s resident lounge and roof terrace offers panoramic views across the city and beyond. The space includes private hire opportunities and an exclusive dining room that can be booked by residents for special occasions.
Interiors throughout One Port Street have been styled by Select Property’s in-house design team, with public spaces enhanced by carefully curated artwork from independent artists. Inspired by the surrounding area, the interiors combine raw metals, sustainable materials, ceramic finishes, and warm wood tones to create a refined yet welcoming boutique five-star hotel atmosphere.
Mohammad Aldabaan, Business Development Manager in Select Property Saudi Arabia, commented: “The launch of One Port Street is an important milestone for Select Property as we expand within the Kingdom, aligning with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and its focus on economic diversification and global investment. Its luxury design, world-class facilities and community minded aspect make it a standout choice for Saudi investors seeking international exposure through the UK property market.
Richard Lonsdale, Regional Director at Select Property in Saudi Arabia, added: “One Port Street marks a landmark achievement in Select Property’s growth strategy within Saudi Arabia, reflecting our deepening footprint in the region and Saudi investors’ appetite for high-yield UK real estate opportunities as part of a broader shift toward diversified global portfolios. With Manchester’s strong fundamentals, strong returns, and Select Property’s integrated model covering development, sales and long-term management, we are well positioned to offer Saudi investors a seamless route into UK real estate.
