Velocity sits at the heart of one of the largest sports-led regeneration projects in the UK since the 2012 London Olympics. The £4.2bn Old Trafford masterplan will deliver a new 48,000-seat Manchester United stadium, 15,000 new homes and an Oxford Economics-forecast £7.3bn annual GDP boost.

UK Investors: Why Trafford Matters in 2026
Old Trafford is being transformed by the UK's largest sports-led regeneration since the 2012 London Olympics. With a new 48,000-seat Manchester United stadium, 15,000 new homes and a forecast £7.3bn annual GDP boost, the borough is on a clear capital growth trajectory. Velocity sits at the centre of this transformation with a Q3 2028 completion — meaning UK investors who buy off-plan today benefit from the regeneration narrative being delivered before they take handover.
Why are townhouses unusual in central Manchester developments?
Most central Manchester schemes deliver apartments only because of plot density and yield economics. Velocity's three-storey townhouses are scarce product, broadening the resale market to families and owner-occupiers as well as investors.
What capital growth is forecast for Manchester?
Savills forecasts 27.6% house price growth across the North West between 2026 and 2030 — the strongest UK regional forecast, underpinned by Manchester's £90 billion regional economy and ~3% annual population growth.
