4 Key STRATEGIC WAT E R S THE CREATION OF SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENTS The Strategic Waters initiative is made up of seven sites which offer unique development opportunities on the stunning coastlines, canals, docklands and waterways of the UK. These sites have room for 30,000 new homes and the completed developments will revitalise some of the most underutilised areas in the UK. The regeneration will breathe new life into former industrial areas, respecting their heritage whilst updating them for the needs of the 21st century. This large scale regeneration is a long term commitment and will take place over the next three decades to provide improvements to the local infrastructure, environment and public domain. The developments themselves will not only offer new residential space; there will also be new commercial, cultural, educational and leisure opportunities on offer to residents, with the intention of creating a real community rather than just a set of new homes. The Strategic Waters sites will provide a total of 30,000 new homes as far afield as Glasgow, Manchester and Chatham, but all are linked by the same design ethos and the desire to plan for the future and redevelop areas which have previously been left behind. Knight Knox and X1 are heavily involved in four phases of Strategic Waters Manchester Waters, Trafford Waters, MediaCityUK and Chatham Waters.

16 A BUY-TO-LET DESTINATION MANCHESTER Manchester is the jewel in the crown of the highly touted Northern Powerhouse, reflecting the boost in infrastructure investment, as the Government continues to deliver the Northern Powerhouse through schemes like HS2 (a high-speed rail network connecting major Northern cities together) and the Northern transport strategy. Naturally, this has attracted thousands of buy-to-let investors, enamoured with Manchester s uncapped present and future potential, both on a national and international scale. Manchester s local buy-to-let market is leading the way in UK property investment, offering landlords average rental returns of 6%. The city s population is approximately 520,000, a figure that s expected to rise to 600,000 by Given Manchester s population growth, the strain on the city s thriving housing market will become even more acute. The supply/demand imbalance is already evidenced in and around the city centre, and is now stretching out to surrounding regions. As a result, house prices have skyrocketed, so much so analysts have predicted that house prices in Manchester will rise 26.4% by Employment in the city is set to follow the same upwards trajectory, with an increase of a further 4.3% over the next five years, which means that the demand for premium housing in the city shows no signs of slowing down. Because of these factors, it comes as no surprise that the city was named the top Northern city in a recent growth potential index. In addition to its thriving rental and buy-to-let market, Manchester has been voted the UK s most liveable city by the Economist Intelligence Unit and was praised for its infrastructure, stability and culture. The UK s unofficial second city of Manchester is known to have an incredibly rich cultural offering, which goes some way to explaining why Manchester is the UK s third most popular city for international visitors after London and Edinburgh, attracting one million international visitors per year. With Manchester s regenerated city centre growing, an increasing number of young people opt for Manchester over London. 16.

17 Manchester: A busy international city Manchester was voted the best UK city to live in by the Global Liveability Survey 2016, beating London for the second year running Manchester was the first industrialised city in the world Manchester has the largest airport outside of London, providing direct flights to over 225 destinations across the globe, more than any other UK airport The wider Greater Manchester area has a population of 2.7 million, and contributes a huge 57bn to the economy every year Manchester Piccadilly train station sees over 25m passengers per year, and is the 4th busiest station in the UK Chestertons data suggests the average gross yield for an apartment in Manchester is 6.6% - 3.1% higher than average yields found in London (3.4%) X1 MANCHESTER WATERS 17.

18 REGENERATION OF MANCHESTER THE RISE OF EAST MANCHESTER Pomona Island is one of the last major sites near the centre of Manchester which remains undeveloped. Given the rapid rate of population growth in Manchester, it is no surprise that the gaps on the peripheries of the city have been rapidly filled in to keep up with the influx of new arrivals looking to live and work in the city. Before it was developed, East Manchester was much like Pomona Island a neglected area of the city which clearly had potential but had been chronically underutilised for many years. In many ways, it is remarkable that such a large area so close to the city centre took so long to be developed. However, even though it may have taken a long time, the results have been outstanding. From its origins as an unloved area of town, East Manchester has become a residential hotspot in a very short amount of time in part thanks to the efforts of Knight Knox and X1. Now, Pomona Island is in the same position as East Manchester was a decade ago. The area is unused and is crying out for regeneration at the same time as Manchester is taking its next big leap. The city is seizing the opportunities on offer to elevate itself into a truly global city, and the economy and population are booming in response. High quality rental accommodation is in short supply, and demand is expected to reflect this chronic undersupply of available rental homes. X1 Manchester Waters will be perfectly placed to meet this need. KNIGHT KNOX 18.

19 Knight Knox & X1 in Manchester Knight Knox and X1 have played a major role in the regeneration of East Manchester over the past few years. Pioneering developments such as X1 Eastbank and X1 The Plaza have helped to redefine the area, and have contributed to the area s newfound status as a buy-to-let hotspot. East Manchester has been the site of one of the most substantial regeneration projects internationally, [leading to] Manchester [becoming] the regeneration capital of the United Kingdom. COMPLETED & TENANTED SOLD OUT & IN CONSTRUCTION The Regeneration of East Manchester, 2013 East Manchester is the focus of one of the largest, most challenging and most exciting regeneration initiatives in the UK, totalling over 1,200 hectares. X1 EASTBANK X1 THE PLAZA Manchester City Council X1 Eastbank is home to 111 spacious apartments and is 100% tenanted. Completed in 2016, residents of X1 Eastbank are a short walk away from both the city centre and Manchester Piccadilly station. Management of the apartments is undertaken by the award-winning X1 Lettings. X1 The Plaza is adjacent to X1 Eastbank and will bring a further 201 apartments to the luxury residential market upon completion. The development was completely sold out far ahead of completion, reflecting the strength of the Manchester market and the enthusiasm which investors have for the city. X1 MANCHESTER WATERS 19.
