Nobu Hospitality has disclosed plans for a significant development in Manchester. In partnership with property developer Salboy, the development will introduce a Nobu Hotel, a Nobu Restaurant, and the UK’s first Nobu-branded residences.
Dubbed Viadux 2, the development is anticipated to stand as the tallest building outside London, raising the bar to 246 meters. This project represents an investment of £360 million in a prime location in Manchester’s city center, dependent on favorable planning outcomes this spring.
The 76-storey tower will comprise 160 hotel rooms, sophisticated event spaces, and a signature Nobu restaurant and bar. Each development component will reflect Nobu’s minimalist yet luxurious design aesthetics.
Moreover, the development will introduce 452 Nobu residences, signaling the brand’s debut in the UK’s luxury real estate market. Each residence will feature refined design elements with thoughtful Japanese details and will have access to premium amenities. These include Nobu dining and room service, an exclusive swimming pool, spa, podium garden and gym, and unparalleled access to the city through a dedicated experience team.
Manchester has rapidly become a prime destination for luxury hospitality and high-end real estate, attracting leading luxury brands and world-class restaurants. The arrival of Nobu marks a major milestone in this transformation, introducing a new benchmark for upscale living and hospitality in the region.
Trevor Horwell, CEO of Nobu Hospitality, expressed his pride in including Manchester in their global collection, praising its vibrant culture and growing global status. He acknowledged the importance of strong partnerships, commending Salboy, Fred Done, and Simon Ismail for their world-renowned vision and solid reputation.
He added, “None of our locations are cookie-cutter; we wholeheartedly embrace the spirit of each destination. We are delighted to be working with Salboy to blend the Nobu experience with the essence of Manchester.”
Simon Ismail, co-founder of Salboy, also shared his excitement about the £360 million deal for Nobu Manchester, describing how it would take the city to new heights in terms of service, cuisine, and experience. He lauded Chef Nobu’s influence on dining across the globe and expressed enthusiasm at the plans for the UK’s first Nobu-branded residences and hotel.
This project is expected to significantly enhance Manchester’s luxury real estate and hospitality landscape, setting a new standard for upscale living and attracting a wider global audience.
