Completed in 2020 by Select Property Group and designed by Denton Corker Marshall, this iconic development at 29 New Bailey Street, M3, features 332 pet-friendly apartments with unrivalled amenities. Priced at £260,000, this fully furnished one-bedroom apartment with high-end finishes is a perfect choice for homeowners seeking a luxurious city lifestyle and investors targeting high-yield opportunities in Manchester’s thriving M3 postcode.
For Homeowners
A Luxurious Urban Retreat-Step into this chic one-bedroom apartment, designed for comfort and style. The open-plan living space boasts floor-to-ceiling windows, offering breathtaking views of Manchester’s skyline or the River Irwell, complemented by hardwood flooring and LED lighting. The modern kitchen features premium appliances (Siemens oven, hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washer/dryer) and a statement breakfast bar, ideal for entertaining. The spacious double bedroom includes plush carpeting, built-in wardrobes, and an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower, Porcelanosa tiling, and a chrome heated towel rail. Fully furnished with high-end pieces-designer sofa, smart TV, and luxury bed frame-this pet-friendly apartment is move-in ready. Residents enjoy exclusive amenities: a state-of-the-art gym, social lounges, co-working spaces, cinema snugs, an in-house café (Loaf MCR), and a 24/7 reception team hosting regular events like cocktail nights and yoga classes. Just a 5-minute walk from Spinningfields’ dining (The Ivy, 20 Stories) and Deansgate’s shops, Affinity Living Riverview offers a vibrant, community-driven lifestyle.
For Investors
A High-Yield Skyline Gem-Priced at £260,000, this one-bedroom apartment commands net yields around 5% after service charges ground rent. Currently in high demand, it’s a turnkey investment in Manchester’s central business district, where property values are forecast to grow 29.4% by 2029 (Savills). The 239-year leasehold and EWS1-compliant status ensure long-term value, though cash buyers are recommended due to market preferences. Its prime location, a 5-minute walk from Spinningfields and Salford Central Station (0.3 miles), attracts professionals and students (University of Manchester, 1 mile). The extensive amenities-gym, co-working spaces, and resident events-enhance tenant appeal, making this a low-maintenance, high-return asset for buy-to-let investors. North Property Group’s management services simplify ownership, handling tenant sourcing and maintenance.
Prime Location
Vibrant Lifestyle-Located on the riverfront in Spinningfields, Affinity Living Riverview offers serene views and unmatched connectivity. A 5-minute walk to Deansgate and Spinningfields places you in Manchester’s premier dining and business hub, while the Arndale shopping centre, Selfridges, and Harvey Nichols are a 10-minute stroll. Salford Central Station (0.3 miles) and Manchester Piccadilly (1 mile) ensure excellent transport links, with Manchester Airport 9 miles away. The nearby River Irwell and Greengate Park provide tranquil escapes, while cultural venues like the Manchester Opera House (0.5 miles) and the Northern Quarter’s bars enrich the lifestyle. The ongoing regeneration of Spinningfields and Greengate promises further growth in the area’s value and appeal, making this a cornerstone of Manchester’s future.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
