Case study: Manchester New Victoria Build-to-Rent development

In October 2023, PIC’s first Build-to-Rent project, New Vic, reached completion and welcomed its first tenants. The project repurposed a key area adjacent to Manchester Victoria train station into a vibrant new residential community. New Vic has 520 high-quality homes across two towers of 20 and 25 storeys respectively, offering over 17,000 square feet of resident amenities and more than 6,000 square feet of commercial space.

New Vic includes a 24/7 residents experience team which is always available to help, as well as a concierge app, where residents can book amenity spaces, provide feedback and make requests. Amenities include a spacious residents’ gym and a cinema room with regular showings of films and sporting events. There is also a regular programme of complimentary events, entertainment and wellness activities.
