Select Property Unveils One Port Street: Manchester’s Premier Luxury Development Attracting Saudi Investors
One Port Street, Manchester’s newest luxury residential development, has officially opened its doors, marking a significant milestone for Select Property and the city’s Northern Quarter. The £195 million project has already attracted substantial interest from Saudi investors, who now account for 33% of apartment ownership within the development.
Select Property, a leading UK-based property developer with over 20 years of experience, has launched this flagship 32-storey building as its most premium residential offering to date. The development coincides with the company’s strategic expansion into Saudi Arabia, including the opening of its Riyadh office—making Select Property the first UK developer to establish a permanent presence in the Kingdom.
One Port Street: A New Standard in Luxury Living
Located on Port Street at the gateway to Manchester’s creative Northern Quarter, the development features 477 open-plan apartments designed to deliver a five-star boutique hotel experience. Residents benefit from an impressive array of amenities, including the area’s first 186 square meter swimming pool and spa pool, integrated changing facilities, and a landscaped urban garden set within 2,044 square meters of newly created public realm.
The building’s standout features include a 360-degree firepit arrival experience, co-working spaces, informal lounges, and the exclusive ‘Hideout’ room—a concealed speakeasy-style retreat. A state-of-the-art gym overlooks the public realm, equipped with training equipment rivaling leading private members’ gyms, all included within the rental experience. Dedicated yoga and barre studios further enhance the wellbeing offering.
Strategic Expansion into Saudi Arabia
The launch reflects growing demand from Saudi investors for high-quality, lifestyle-led residential developments in global cities. Select Property’s permanent presence in Riyadh enables the company to better serve existing clients while opening new pathways to UK real estate for investors seeking portfolio diversification aligned with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.
“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.”
Mohammad Aldabaan, Business Development Manager, Select Property Saudi Arabia
Premium Amenities and Design Excellence
On the seventh floor, Paganini’s resident lounge and roof terrace offers panoramic views across Manchester and beyond. The space includes private hire opportunities and an exclusive dining room for special occasions. Interiors throughout 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 atmosphere that captures the essence of boutique five-star hospitality.
Investment Opportunities and Market Position
“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.”
