That's it! :-)

I'll do Middlewood Locks and Salford next. There's few developments under construction around there.

Absolute crackling proposal.

Designed by EPR Architects, Colloco would comprise 200,000 sq ft of office space on the corner of New Quay Street and Gartside Street. The 16-storey office block has been designed to achieve a BREEAM Excellent rating, 5.5-star NABERS score, and to be net zero carbon.

“Colloco is a completely different prospect to the sterile and corporate offices of yesteryear,” said executive director Adam Brady about the project.

Why do people nearly always add shit and annoying music to drone videos? Turn the sound down. Watch in HD, white cog.

Where's that circular tower in the opening shots? To go against my stated opinion on most of the new skyscrapers going up, that one nearly looks presentable.



Nearly.

Development Manager at Dominus Real Estate

Dominus is on the hunt for a forward funding partner for its impressive £200 million Medlock Tower development in central Manchester. This super-prime PBSA project, developed in collaboration with Whitbread, has already secured planning permission and is set to redefine student living with 1,014 beds across a striking 37-storey tower, conveniently located opposite First Street.

We've partnered with Savills and Gerald Eve to identify the perfect partner for this exciting venture. Pending funding, construction is scheduled to kick off in early 2024, ensuring delivery in time for the 2027/28 academic year. Notably, this development will replace an existing Premier Inn hotel on Medlock Street.

This development will not only address the pressing demand for quality student accommodation but also prioritize environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations, meeting the standards required by global capital.

A fantastic opportunity for forward-thinking investors and an exciting addition to Manchester's skyline! Stay tuned for updates as this transformative project takes shape.

Ooh - not heard of this scheme. Obvs that skyline will different again (Viadux and the new Whitworth street tower are missing from there).

A skyline just needs one special looking tower, something that makes it distinguishable to the rest in height and design. We can have as many boxes as we want then, boxes are all just there to support the centre piece and add mass to the overall skyline.

Absolutely.
I think we may be a fair while off that but would one good to have something really special tower wise.
Irrespective of that, the skyline is utterly blooming.

A lot of people earn a hell of a lot of money. I met a girl once who spent £800 a week on flowers for her house. Fresh batches every Friday whether they needed replenishing or not.

I don’t have £800 a month to myself.

I thought my monthly croissant bill was high.....

Amazing updates JRB.
Couple of questions:
Are there still going to be 4 tower on the Trinity Island plots?

And on Great Jackson/New Jackson, are they building those 4 towers at the same time (seems like they're split into two towers on SSC?)? Aware that Lighthouse was the 5th of those too.

I'm really looking forward to all the developments in the First Street area being completed.
I often cut through there and along Hulme Street whilst walking from Castlefield to the Aquatics Centre and back, and it's all a bit of a mess at the moment.
I'm sure it will all look brilliant and that area of town feel less desolate on completion.
