Thanks to Salboy for the invitation to have a look around the very impressive Viadux.

The 40-storey tower features 385 apartments and is pretty much sold out

As first impressions of a development go, this is right up there. Definitely worth the effort of punching through the viaduct.

The standard of resi in Manchester, particularly in terms of the amenity on offer, keeps on rising - check out that pool!

Does anyone know where this is in East Manchester and what’s going on?

The pictures showing the Etihad stadium in the distance and the canal close by will help to place the site, if anyone knows?

Cole Waterhouse is now drawing up plans for the former Hilti head office, a key site within the 5,000-home, 215-acre Trafford Wharfside masterplan.



The developer plans to bring forward a mixed-use, residential-led development on the site, located close to Manchester United’s Old Trafford stadium, itself earmarked for a significant overhaul.

Hilti agrees long-awaited sale of former Trafford HQ - Place North West

Developer Cole Waterhouse has exchanged contracts on the site almost three-and-a-half years after it first went up for sale.

X1 Michigan Towers - The Quays next tallest building is now on the rise!

Designed by JB+CO, sees the delivery of a four phase residential development, two of which are now fully funded by Starlight Investments.

The first tower now underway (red building as per the renders) will rise to 109m across 35 floors. However, it won't be the tallest within the masterplan; a future phase will see the delivery of an even taller tower, reaching 41 floors with a height of 127m!

Thoughts and opinions, please.

Viadux phase two would provide 782 apartments within the UK’s tallest building outside London.

As well as a 76-storey tower, the second phase of Salboy’s Viadux scheme off Great Bridgewater Street would feature a 23-storey block comprising 133 affordable properties.

I like it personally. It's got a bit more architectural flair to it than the other square towers that have been constructed. I said previously, it only takes one or two more ambitious buildings to transform the overall skyline and add interest.
