An Institutional-Grade Income Asset
Quartico Investments has validated Frederick Street as an institutional-grade income asset. Representing the third phase of the proven Campus masterplan (where previous phases are 100% completed and tenanted), this investment effectively mitigates standard ‘off-plan’ execution risks.
Underpinned by a developer with £1.2bn in Gross Development Value (GDV) and 27 completed schemes, our selection is driven by the asset’s market-leading 10-Year NET Rental Assurance . This contractual security, paired with a fully managed operational model, delivers a predictable, hands-off yield in Manchester’s undersupplied student sector.
Asset Specifications:
- Asset Class: Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) & Residential
- Assurance: 7% NET for 10 Years
- Management: Fully Managed (Student & Professional)
- Developer Status: 27 Completed Schemes / £1.2bn GDV

Salford & Manchester University Economics
Quartico analysis validates Frederick Street’s strategic position directly adjacent to The University of Salford , ensuring immediate access to a catchment area of over 100,000 students . This location is not just ‘close’ to campus—it is integral to the university ecosystem, virtually guaranteeing high occupancy rates from day one.
Connectivity & Demand:
- University of Salford: 2 Minutes Walk (Immediate Tenant Pool).
- Manchester City Centre: 6 Minutes Drive (Access to Spinningfields & MediaCityUK).
- Supply Gap: Manchester suffers from a chronic shortage of PBSA (Purpose Built Student Accommodation), driving occupancy rates to near 100%.

1. The 10-Year Income Lock Most rental assurances last only 1-2 years. Frederick Street offers a 10-year fixed assurance at 7% NET. This provides investors with a decade of predictable, contractually secured income, insulating them from short-term market volatility or vacancy voids.
2. Zero Stamp Duty Savings Due to the specific unit valuation and commercial classification, this investment attracts £0 Stamp Duty. This immediate saving (typically 3-5% of purchase price) significantly improves the year-one Return on Investment (ROI) compared to standard residential buy-to-let.
3. Proven Developer Track Record Investing in “Phase 3” of a successful masterplan drastically reduces risk. The developer has already built, completed, and tenanted the first two phases of the Campus project. Quartico views this as a “proof of concept” asset rather than a speculative off-plan gamble.
