I’ve been banned from SSC-MCR.

Thankfully I’ve got the Manchester Changing Skyline thread to post on. :-)

It looks like One Heritage tower is dead. Not that it was ever alive, and going to get built.

As well as One Heritage changing its name to Zentra Group, the development company plans to sell a portfolio of assets valued at £7m to reduce debt, acquire a 30% stake in a Manchester apartment scheme it is developing, exit the co-living sector on viability grounds, and delist from the London Stock Exchange.

One Heritage hopes the restructure and rebrand will “position the company for sustainable growth, financial stability, and enhanced market presence”, according to a Stock Exchange filing.

An update in the Stock Exchange filing on One Heritage’s most high-profile scheme, a 55-storey tower in Salford’s Greengate district, was brief: “The company has an ongoing development management agreement and has agreed updated terms, which includes a 3% fee of any land sale.”

(Zentra Group still has the One Heritage tower listed under their portfolio)

One Heritage Tower | Zentra Group Plc

One Heritage Tower was acquired in January 2020 and is situated in Salford. We have successfully achieved outlined planning for 542 self-contained apartments over 55 floors, plus amenities such as a gym and a penthouse residents’ lounge.

The first link is to the covering letter. A interesting read.
The second link is to the full PA.
The mural images in the PA are slightly hazy.

The decline of Union Bank over the years is very sad. Externally it’s a right mess. I can only imagine what kind of mess it is in internally. Hopefully it will be restored to it’s former glory, alongside the new hotel tower?
