Salboy, the development firm co-founded by Betfred billionaire Fred Done, has played a central role in Manchester's urban revival, reshaping the city's skyline with high-end residential projects. The company's luxury towers have become landmarks in the city's regeneration efforts.

Manchester's transformation reflects a broader trend of northern England cities attracting significant private investment. Salboy's developments have targeted affluent buyers and renters, capitalizing on Manchester's growing reputation as a cultural and economic hub outside London.

The luxury properties command premium prices, with some units reaching seven figures, demonstrating confidence in Manchester's growth prospects. Done's success in both property and gambling underscores the diverse opportunities emerging in Britain's regional cities.
