Manchester’s Changing Skyline

[jrb]

I did a shift banking the crane Saturday on St Michaels, Gary Nevilles project on the demolished Bootle St Police station. I'm going back in the new year so I will take photos as it goes up. As you can see the job is still in the ground.
I forgot to ask but they are demolishing the synagogue next door hopefully the headquarters of the rags Men in Black The Abbercombie goes as well.

Looking forward to the picture updates. Thanks.

The synagogue has had it’s final service and has closed.

Jackson’s Row, Manchester City Centre’s only synagogue, closed the ark doors for the final time this weekend to make way for the multi-million pound St Michael’s redevelopment. From this Shabbat we will hold services at our temporary base just over a mile away. Soon we will start our consultation exercise to determine a new home for our members.

Demolition should start in the new year.

Domis Construction are building the proposed 40 storey tower. (you probably already knew that?)

Click on the first link below for the Revere Design Film, CGI‘s and PC Tour. There’s been a slight update on the website page, at the start with the cladding fading in and out.

I think St Michael’s could be that iconic tower people want?? Not in height, but in appearance. The cladding looks fantastic, if it turns out like that.

We go in the Abercrombie before City games. Great boozer.

Neville wanted it gone but everyone kicked up a fuss, it’s one of the oldest pubs in Manchester… and it’s staying!

I know lads who think that they are Man U's firm and they class the Abercrombie as their boozer.
Well if you and other Blues go in there regular it looks like it is not.

Some really good skyline shots.

For some reason the 1st video stops after 1:44 and starts again after 2:43. Fast forward. Watch both videos in HD.

Note the redevelopment of the old Granada Studio into a Hotel. Shown in the screen grab.

Redevelopment of the Great Northern Warehouse building and wider site.

Looks a really good Proposal.

More details and CGI’s vi the Place North West link below.

The historic Manchester building will be converted into offices with 746 homes built nearby, under proposals by Trilogy Real Estate and Hong Kong-based Peterson Group.



Designs by architect SimpsonHaugh call for the upper floors of the warehouse to become 120,000 sq ft of offices. Deansgate Terrace would also be refurbished to provide 30,000 sq ft of offices on its upper floors, with the ground floor continuing to hold retail and leisure space.



The 746 homes would be spread out across three buildings, including a 27-storey tower and a 34-storey one. The shortest of the buildings would be 16 storeys. The homes would have between one and three bedrooms, with 430 being two-bedroom units.
