A towering new development in the Northern Quarter has revealed its open date – and given a sneak glimpse inside the luxury apartments.

One Port Street is a £195m development on the doorstep of both the Northern Quarter and Ancoats, standing at 32 storeys tall and boasting 477 open-plan apartments.

And this major new development will also be home to a 2000 sq ft swimming pool, a spa pool, and an urban garden, with a total of 22,000 sq ft of public green space.

The building’s hit a major milestone this month, finally confirming an opening date of February 2026.

One Port Street has been developed by Select Property in partnership with prestigious architects SimpsonHaugh.

Inside, each apartment will offer an industrial aesthetic with exposed textures, and apartments ranging in size from one bed to three.

There’ll be glass balcony balustrades, with a pattern inspired by textile patterns from the Whitworth Art Gallery.

As well as the apartments, One Port Street will have high-spec indoor and outdoor working and socialising spaces, such as a 360° firepit, state-of-the-art gym and yoga studios, and co-working spaces.

On the 7th floor, there’ll be a resident lounge and external terrace, named after a tavern which stood on Port Street 200 years ago, plus a secret room for residents called The Hideout.

Ian Simpson, Founder Partner at SimpsonHaugh, said: “One Port Street embodies the rich architectural diversity of Manchester.

“This development offers more than just a place to live, work, and socialise – it’s a sanctuary within the city’s most creative and lively neighbourhood. It’s a true example of what a sustainable, modern community should be.”

Adam Price, CEO at Select Property, added: “One Port Street is set to be a true landmark for Manchester and represents everything we believe modern residential living should be – design-led, community-minded and connected to its surroundings and local heritage.

“The Northern Quarter has long been the focal point of Manchester’s creativity and culture and this new development takes inspiration from that while bringing something new to the community.

“The response so far has been phenomenal, and as we enter the final phase, we’re proud to be collaborating with local artists and independent businesses to bring the finishing touches to life, ahead of welcoming our first residents. Make sure you join the waitlist to be part of this exciting story.”
