Starlight Tops Out 60-Storey BTR Project in Manchester

Starlight Investments has topped out a 60-storey build-to-rent tower project in Manchester, England.

The Trinity Heights development will deliver 532 rental suites.

The milestone marks progress on one of Manchester’s most significant BTR developments, located in the Castlefield Conservation Area and positioned to become a defining feature of the city’s skyline, said Starlight. The project will include a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom homes, along with amenities such as an indoor pool, fitness studio, co-working spaces, resident lounges and a rooftop garden.

Situated at Trinity Way and Regent Road, the development is within walking distance of Manchester’s business, retail and entertainment districts and offers strong transit access. Renaker is building the project for Toronto-based Starlight.

“This major milestone is an exciting step in bringing this landmark development closer to completion,” said Jonnie Milich, Starlight’s head of U.K. residential. “Trinity Heights exemplifies our commitment to delivering thoughtfully designed, high-quality rental communities that provide exceptional urban living. We are grateful to our team and partners for their dedication and collaboration in driving this project forward.”

Trinity Heights forms part of Starlight’s expanding UK residential portfolio, which includes additional BTR developments under construction in Greater Manchester.

“This milestone cements our relationship with Starlight Investments, marking the first building to top out in our partnership, and represents an exciting step in our wider regeneration of the area,” “We’re thrilled to have topped out Trinity Heights, a new 60-storey building in Manchester and a key part of our Trinity Island neighbourhood,” said Daren Whitaker, who chairs Renaker. “We look forward to continuing our relationship with the team.”

Across the U.K., Starlight has established a portfolio of about 4,000 rental suites and more than £1.1 billion in assets under management as it continues to expand in key regional markets.
