From what I've read and digested, there's so many more of these planned to go up rather soon.
@jrb - I've know SSC for years (from the Holland Hoogbouw Forums) but very rarely go on these days (time etc).

Is there a thread that points towards the twin towers approved for the GJS area (51 storeys)?
Are these Plot D? And we're still awaiting news on the Plot F site?

Manchester is blessed with so much empty land for a city of it's size, but that's also a tale of how far the city fell from grace after once being a city of high importance in the world.

Not sure you'd see a city the size of Manchester having those industrial units (seen in GJS and other areas) in many European countries (far less centralised countries).

A long way to go over the next couple of decades.

Select lodged plans for One Port Street in January and twice saw the application rejected by Manchester City Council.

However, a reduction in height from 34 to 33 storeys saw the scheme given the green light by planners in July.

Designed by SimpsonHaugh Architects, the development also features an 11-storey block. The shorter element fronts Great Ancoats Street, while the tower portion faces Port Street.

I park the car in Hulme. It's free. And walk into town. It's a good starting point. First Street, then all the other construction site.
