Cathedral One, Derby : On Invest Appointed Asia Master Agent
Cathedral One, Derby (CGI) – waterside apartments overlooking Derby Cathedral in the historic Cathedral Quarter.
On Invest has been confirmed as Asia's Master Agent for Cathedral One, a landmark waterside apartment scheme set to launch in Derby's Cathedral Quarter.
Ahead of the developer's official go-live, the site has already drawn a heap of attention thanks to its setting and the wider momentum building across Derby's city centre.
The appointment adds another prime UK asset to On Invest's regional offering, giving clients across Asia early and prioritised access to a development in one of the Midlands' most closely-watched regeneration areas.
Why Derby?
Cathedral One occupies a standout position on Full Street, sitting directly on Cathedral Green beside the River Derwent, with Derby Cathedral and the Museum of Making at the Silk Mill both on its doorstep.
The city's economy is anchored by aerospace, automotive and rail manufacturing. Rolls-Royce Civil Aerospace alone employs around 14,000 people at its Derby headquarters, alongside Toyota Manufacturing UK and the UK headquarters of Bombardier Rail – a concentration of high-value employers that underpins consistent demand for well-located, modern housing near the centre.
The development also sits within a much larger transformation of the Cathedral Quarter, joining schemes like the Nightingale Quarter and Friar Gate Goods Yard in turning a long-dormant riverside site into a genuine new focal point for the city.
Key Highlights
Designed to appeal to Derby's growing population of professionals and city-centre renters, Cathedral One combines a prime waterside setting with contemporary apartment living in one of the city's most historic and connected locations.
Just a 10-minute walk from Derby Train Station and within immediate reach of the city's shops, amenities and cultural attractions, the development is exceptionally positioned for both long-term rental demand and future capital growth.
Key highlights include:
Prime waterside location, overlooking Cathedral Green & the River Derwent
195 contemporary studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments
Developed by Wavensmere Homes, in partnership with Wilson Bowden Developments
10-minute walk to Derby Train Station
On-site gym, concierge, co-working space & café
Private balconies and rooftop terraces on select apartments
999-year lease with zero ground rent
Strong anticipated pre-launch demand
Derby's fundamentals have quietly strengthened in recent years – a deep employer base, a shortage of quality apartments near the centre, and real momentum behind the Cathedral Quarter's redevelopment.
Cathedral One sits at the centre of that story: a prime riverside plot, empty for over a decade, now coming forward as one of the city's most talked-about new schemes. Clients interested in entering at launch stage should reach out early.
