Development Overview

About the development

The apartments

The planning consent sets 31 studios, 93 one-bedroom, 111 two-bedroom and 15 three-bedroom homes. Studios start at about 37 sqm, one-bedrooms at about 53 sqm, two-bedrooms run from 64 to 100 sqm and three-bedrooms from 89 to 109 sqm. Salboy publishes no price list, so the figures in the unit table come from resellers; we confirm live prices with the developer’s agents.

Progress

The tower topped out in March 2026, and completion is planned for the end of 2026.

Ownership

Apartments are sold leasehold. Ask for the lease term, ground rent and the projected service charge before you reserve.

What to weigh

Greengate is one of the fastest-built districts in Greater Manchester, with several towers completing within a few years of each other. That competition sets rents for new flats here, so compare asking rents in neighbouring towers rather than relying on a quoted yield.

Why invest

Greengate, Salford

Greengate sits on the Salford bank of the Irwell, opposite Manchester Cathedral and the Arndale. Within the past decade it has filled with residential towers.

Getting about

  • Manchester Victoria station and the Metrolink: a short walk across the river
  • Salford Central station: a few minutes on foot
  • Deansgate and Spinningfields: about 10 minutes’ walk
  • Timing: close to completion, so the wait for rental income is short.
  • Location: Greengate, a walk from Manchester Victoria and the city centre.
  • Mix: mostly one- and two-bedroom flats, the most-let sizes in central Manchester.
  • Developer: Salboy, a Manchester developer, building with Domis Construction.

Frequently asked questions.

Who is this development suitable for?

Obsidian appeals to a wide range of investors, from those seeking long-term capital growth to landlords looking for stable rental income. It also caters to young professionals and families seeking high-quality housing in central Manchester.

What rental yields can investors expect?

We do not quote a yield for Obsidian: no rental guarantee or projection has been published by the developer. Rents for new one- and two-bedroom flats in Greengate are set by the towers around it, so ask us for achieved rents in neighbouring buildings.

How does the buying process work?

You reserve with a deposit, exchange contracts with a further payment, and pay the balance on completion, planned for the end of 2026. The developer’s agents set the amounts; we confirm them with the unit you choose.

Are there any additional costs?

Stamp duty, legal fees, and management fees apply. Full transparency on costs is provided during the reservation process.

Is there financing available?

Yes, financing options are available through partnered brokers specialising in off-plan property.
