Manchester’s Changing Skyline
- Thread starter jrb
- Start date
I love your positivity Jim, about Manchester’s architecture, after seeing all those pictures. :-)
I’m dreading tomorrow when I post all the other pictures. :-(
I wouldn’t call it grim. Obviously the muted, pale green, isn’t your colour preference?
I’m sure once it’s built, cleaned, and the area around it is landscaped, it will look better.
It could just be my pictures?
PS.
TBF to you Jim, it does look like a miserable looking building. Certainly not as bright as the CGI suggested.

Today, the planning and highways committee cemented the approval of five new skyscrapers and a Piccadilly hotel.
Developer Renaker plans to transform Manchester’s skyline at Great Jackson Street once more will have combined gross development value greater than £1bn, according to viability statements from Savills and Roger Hannah.
The application was split into two parts: The Lighthouse and The Green.
Developer Renaker’s 71-storey residential tower will provide 642 homes and a top-floor public restaurant.
It will surpass the South Tower as Manchester’s tallest tower.
A Lamington Group application for a 251-bedroom hotel off Piccadilly was also approved.
The 34-storey tower will renovate parts of the grade two-listed Union Bank and will create 133,000 sq ft of gross internal floorspace.
A public-facing restaurant and rooftop parts are also in the plans.
