Manchester’s Changing Skyline

[Coatigan]

That building looks great.

I bet that wasn't designed by a certain manchester based architecture practice?? .

I don't like this one, myself. I know it is a matter of taste, I get why some might. Come to think of it, there's a lot of theirs I'm not particularly keen on.

Will however be interesting to see how it comes out in the end, the actual built detail might yet make it. Looks like there will be decent depth in the lattice.

But when are the council going to fund the cleaning up and keeping clean of the shit hole that is ground level Manchester centre?

I think it looks great.(not trying to be funny with you)

Fixing the cladding is taking absolutely ages. I was wondering if there’s an issue with the cladding or fixing the cladding? The cladding is much further along at the back and on one side of the building. but it’s very slow progress.

The next time I do a city centre construction roundup, not done one for months because of the poor weather, next Sunday is looking good, I’ll take some pictures.

It also gives me an excuse to go to Cafe Nero across the road, which is my fav coffee shop in the city centre. :-)

Correct.

Ask Pat, he’s in charge of the city centre.(apparently?)

He’s got a job for life.

Place North West.

Kadans, McLaren, Property Alliance Group, and Moda Living have submitted proposals for the redevelopment of 7.5 acres off Upper Brook Street featuring 700,000 sq ft of lab space and almost 2,000 student bedrooms.

Two separate applications have been submitted, one by Alliance and Moda for 470,000 sq ft of life sciences accommodation and 1,100 student beds and one by Kadans and McLaren for 215,000 sq ft of labs and 740 PBSA units.

Manchester City Council is also due to sign off a land deal to pave the way for part of the scheme.



Meanwhile, Moda Living will deliver around 1,100 student accommodation units in a 41-storey tower in partnership with Alliance on the northernmost portion of the site.

My iPad crashed before I could get to the tower CGI’s, if there are any? I’ll go through the D&AS on my PC. Go to the D&AS below.

Managed to get a few screen grabs. A stepped tower.
