Totally unrecognisable from the place I grew up in back in the 70s. The CIS building was the only real "skyscraper", until the Arndale arrived. You could actually see the illuminated CIS lights from our house in Longsight.

Though I like some of the developments, I have been working in Strangeways the last few weeks and cut through town form dilly to Vic and personaly I find the new victoria tripple set of new high rises top of miller street to be vile and a complete eyesore on the area.
They don't fit and are also ugly in design

I love the term Manchatten, every time o go down it reminds me of New York more and more.The pictures taken from Cortland show other residential developments under construction or onsite across the city centre.

Unrivalled views from Manchester’s latest BuildToRent scheme “Cortland at Colliers Yard” - LOFT.uk are excited to be furnishing 559 homes for the lucky residents who will be moving in this autumn.
The apartments, social spaces & amenities are hard to rival anywhere in the country - this is BTR at it’s finest - exquisite work from RENAKER, and another welcome addition to the ever-growing “Manc-hattan” skyline.

Don't know if it's just me, but a lot of those proposed buildings that are on here as artists' impressions (not just the ones you've mentioned ug) are not pleasing on the eye.
I call it the Grey Quarter. Too many grey and dull looking new buildings. Thankfully there are some colourful office buildings proposed for NOMA. No1 Angel Square is a fantastic looking office building.
Next 477,000 sq ft of Noma offices up for approval - Place North West
Federated Hermes and MEPC are hoping to win planning consent for two buildings at the 20-acre Manchester business district.

Always a pleasure to visit Manchester and to see Rylands - Manchester. Making good progress with already over 65 operatives on site having started the demolition works and working top down now.

Home - Rylands Manchester
The Rylands building in Manchester will be sensitively restored to its elegant past whilst also delivering state of the art office, retail and leisure space.rylandsmanchester.com
This area (and in fact the wider Piccadilly Gardens) is such a fucking eye sore.
I've no idea how the Arndale High Street/High Street in general conundrum will be solved but this must be the state of the solution.
Spot on mate.
Hopefully it will all come togther over the next few years? The Rylands building, 20-36 High Street, and Piccadilly Gardens.
Sadly, the arse end of the Arndale Centre and the Arndale Centre car park will always blight High Street.
On Piccadilly Gardens. Along with the overdue redevelopment and refurbishment, the name should be changed to Piccadilly Square. It's no longer a garden, and a name change from the it's past and it's
bad reputation is needed. A new Piccadilly Square is the way forward.

I was standing at a bus stop on the snipe the other week when the skies were blue and you could see the rolling hills of the peak district clearly.
It was a beautiful sight and had me wondering a 100 years ago I bet the view of the penines and peak district intertwined with mill chimleys as you stood on the banks of picadily basin were breathtaking.,
Shame just a little bit of the beautiful landscape all around our city cannot be left to be seen, we should be more Tokyo than Manhatten

Click on the link for the video, pictures and a good article.
Take a sneak peek inside the grade two-listed Rylands Building near Manchester’s Piccadilly Gardens, which is being transformed by developer AM Alpha into a modern office, retail, and leisure complex.
AM Alpha’s vision of sleek offices, shops, and restaurants is still a way off – with main contractor Russell WBHO still at work in the soft demolition phase of the project.
Place North West was invited to take a tour of the building, where you can still find traces of its past as a Debenh
