Manchester-based developer Salboy is predicting huge demand when apartments at their 40-storey residential tower Viadux go on sale next month.
Despite the impacts of COVID-19, Salboy’s Simon Ismail says inquiries for off-plan investments are continuing to generate interest from within the UK as well as overseas.
Publishing new images of the project, the director commented: “Viadux will be Manchester’s premier address, in the heart of the city, close to the historic Civic Quarter and with great transport connections.
“The demand for ultra-high quality living in the best city centre locations continues, and for so many reasons Manchester continues to be the choice within the UK for both investors and people buying to live.
“Rural properties may be back on the agenda but we are seeing the opposite. People are still wanting to buy and live in Manchester and be part of the city’s growth and success.

“This is a long -term investment in Manchester and from the level of inquiries we know many people are very confident in what Manchester will look like in four years’ time.”
Situated next to Manchester Central Convention Centre, Viadux will offer generous living spaces, luxurious finishes and state of the art technology – all surrounded by beautiful private gardens.

Residents will also enjoy a range of lifestyle amenities including a fully-equipped gym, separate yoga studio and cinema with tiered seating.
There are also plans to expand the amenity offering into the Grade II viaducts offering unique spaces to relax and socialise alongside new independent retail and coffee shops on adjacent to the main entrance on Great Bridgewater Street.
The first phase release will see one, two bedroom apartments and penthouses up for purchase – handled directly by Salboy’s in-house sales team.

Prices for a one-bedroom 546 sq ft apartment start at £265,000 with two bedrooms available from £350,000.
The first phase of Viadux units will be launched on 8 August 2020.
Construction is scheduled to take four years – with Salboy’s construction partner Domis already on site undertaking preparatory works alongside an archaeological dig.
Simon added: “The process is simple and buyers will be dealing with Salboy all the way through.
“Working alongside Domis we have a strong track record of delivering high quality residential projects on time and on budget and our pledge at Viadux is to create world class homes for people to enjoy working and living in the city.”

In June, a planning application for £1m of landscaping and access was submitted to Manchester City Council – which will see a new glass lift and staircase linking directly to the nearby Deansgate-Castlefield Metrolink stop.

Inside the regal Cheshire home for sale on one of Britain’s most expensive roads
Emily Sergeant
A stunning detached family home on one of Britain’s most expensive roads is currently on the market over in Cheshire.
In case you hadn’t heard, a recent report by The Times has revealed where you’ll find Britain’s top 20 most expensive roads for 2026, based off Rightmove data, and Congleton Road in Alderley Edge – slap bang in the middle of Cheshire’s iconic ‘Golden Triangle’ – has appeared in the top five most expensive outside of London.
So we snooped around to see what your money (… or your hypothetical money, at least) can get you on this street, and came across a regal residence currently for sale for a whopping £4.95 million.
This is Highclere – a six-bedroom detached family home occupying a private plot of over 1.3 acres and enjoying panoramic views across the adjoining Cheshire countryside.

Approached behind electric gates, and set back along a sweeping driveway, estate agents say Highclere has been ‘carefully and tastefully’ renovated by the current owners.
It now offers ‘spacious and versatile’ accommodation, and benefits from being within easy reach of Alderley Edge village centre and all the amenities it’s known and loved for.
Some of the stand-out features include an impressive reception hall with large sweeping staircase, open living kitchen with a large central island, large bedrooms, and a full leisure suite with a pool, jacuzzi, steam room, and showers.
There’s also a dedicated bar area, a games room, cinema room, and a gym.
Upstairs is where you’ll find what is described as the ‘unparallelled’ principal bedroom suite with two large dressing rooms, its own living area, en-suite bathroom, and a powder room, as well as four other large bedrooms.
Just as you’d expect, the outside of Highclere is as impressive as the inside.

Not only are there expansive terraced lawns with mature trees and shrubs and two large courtyards perfect for outdoor entertaining, but there is also a large driveway providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles and a detached double garage converted into annexe accomodation.
This property is currently on the market with Alderley Edge-based independent estate agents, Andrew J Nowell, for a Guide Price of £4.95 million, and if you fancy taking a closer look, then you can contact the agents to arrange a viewing.
Or you could just take the cheaper route instead and have a nosy at the Rightmove link here.
