It wouldn’t look out of place in New York or Chicago.
People don’t criticise the buildings in New York and Chicago.
I think it looks great. A fantastic looking ‘brick’ building added to Manchester’s other fantastic (Victorian) brick buildings.
It’s all about opinions and tastes, Jim.
Not aimed at you.
People moan about all the similar looking glass towers going up in Manchester.
People moan about the brick buildings going up in Manchester.
It’s impossible to please everyone when it comes to new buildings being built in Manchester.
With so many new buildings being built in Manchester there will always be some new buildings that are and do look disappointing.
On the other hand there are plenty of good looking buildings that are being built in Manchester.
I go by the average of both.
As a rule I think Manchester does pretty well when it comes to good looking new buildings. Especially compared to other UK cities in particular, and other European and World cities.
As for New York.
I’ve never been to New York. I will go one day Just to walk around New York and to look at the wonderful architecture and buildings, old and new.
Chicago.
2nd picture. You can see similarities in House of Social.

Sorry to moan JRB ;-)
