Taj Sidhu, head of Carlyle European and Asian Private Credit, said: “This is a unique opportunity to fund a large scale and landmark residential development alongside a highly established living sector investment manager, in what is a prime area of Manchester. 

“Leveraging the resources and experience of Carlyle’s global credit team, the development will deliver the very best of city centre living, with luxury amenities and contemporary design throughout the apartments and communal spaces.”

Tom France, head of UK Round Hill Capital, added: “Fairfax is our flagship UK BTR scheme, in what is one of our high conviction sectors where we have ambitions to continue scaling our exposure. 

“With a limited development pipeline, we anticipate strong demand for what will be one of the city’s premier BTR schemes.”
