We’re thrilled that Manchester has been ranked the No. 2 Best City in the UK in the Condé Nast Traveller Readers’ Choice Awards 2025, achieving an impressive overall score of 96.3%. This marks a significant rise from 8th position last year, placing the city ahead of London, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
This recognition reinforces Manchester’s continued growth as the Northern Powerhouse — celebrated for its cultural offering, thriving food and hospitality scene, investment strength, talent, and exceptional quality of life.
As Manchester’s leading developer, we’re proud to contribute to the city’s evolution — transforming the skyline, establishing vibrant new neighbourhoods, and delivering considered amenities supported by a curated mix of local, independent operators that enhance urban living.
From elevated riverside living to a world-class skyscraper district and an urban neighbourhood with soul, we remain committed to shaping places that reflect Manchester’s ambition and future-focused vision.
