Allsop Letting and Management appointed to run Round Hill Capital’s flagship Manchester scheme

Allsop Letting and Management (ALM), one of the UK's leading providers of professionally managed properties and a subsidiary of UK property consultancy Allsop, has been appointed to run Fairfax, a 488-unit build-to-rent (BTR) scheme in central Manchester.

Delivered by Round Hill Capital in partnership with Olympian Homes, the development is comprised of 23 and 29-storey towers, with 172 one-bedroom and 316 two-bedroom apartments on offer, and is due to complete in early 2026.

Located at the gateway to the Portugal Street East masterplan regeneration area, the scheme benefits from excellent transport links with Piccadilly train station – the largest train station in the city- a five-minute walk away and less than 10 minutes from Ancoats and the Northern Quarter.

Due to its convenient location and the varied mix of apartments on offer, Fairfax is expected to attract a wide renter demographic, including young professionals, families and students. The development will feature a number of amenities, including a residents’ lounge, co-working areas, a private dining room, a multi-media room including a cinema as well as a multi-purpose gym and exercise studio.

ALM has a strong track record in managing BTR and single-family developments across the UK and operates three other key assets within Greater Manchester – The Trilogy, Vox and Eda – as part of its portfolio, with 1,300 units under management in the Manchester area alone.

Earlier this year, ALM won three HomeViews Resident Choice Awards acknowledging its work across multi- and single-family housing.

Matt Smith, CEO of Allsop Letting and Management, said:
“We are thrilled to have been appointed by Round Hill Capital to manage its flagship Manchester scheme. With a strong track record in residential property management across multi- and single-family housing, our award-winning team is well placed to support our client at every stage of the BTR lifecycle, driving operational efficiencies and securing high levels of tenant satisfaction in a highly competitive market.”

Tom France, Head of UK Investment at Round Hill Capital, said:
“We look forward to working with Allsop Letting & Management on our flagship Manchester development in partnership with Olympian Homes. Fairfax will be a meaningful addition to Manchester’s rental stock as the city continues to experience a rise in demand for quality rental accommodation across a variety of tenant demographics.”
