Located within MediaCityUK, Spectra will deliver 393 contemporary homes designed around modern lifestyles, combining refined quayside living with a strong sense of community. With concierge, co-working spaces, a gym, private dining and landscaped outdoor areas, the scheme is scheduled for completion in late 2026.

This milestone marks our latest collaboration with Starlight Investments on their flagship Manchester development. Spectra reflects Starlight’s continued investment in Greater Manchester’s growing rental market and their commitment to delivering high-quality rental homes where they are needed most, with this being their second topping out in the region within a single week.

As creative partner, SOCIETY STUDIOS® shaped the brand identity for Spectra, working closely with the wider project team to bring this landmark development to market. The tagline Life In Motion captures the energy of MediaCity and the fast-paced creative industries that surround it, expressing a place defined by movement, momentum and possibility.

A huge thank you to our valued clients, Starlight Investments, for their continued trust and shared ambition, and to the exceptional teams at X1 Developments and Vermont Construction for their expertise and collaboration in bringing Spectra to this pivotal moment.
