Select Property has published analysis comparing rents at Vita Living's Circle Square development against the wider Manchester average, putting fresh scrutiny on how premium build-to-rent (BTR) schemes are pricing themselves relative to the city's broader private rental sector. While the specific rent figures have not been disclosed publicly beyond the comparison itself, the exercise is a useful reminder that Manchester's rental market is no longer a single, homogenous entity — it is increasingly stratified between purpose-built, amenity-rich BTR developments and the traditional buy-to-let stock that still dominates the city's supply.
