Manchester’s Changing Skyline

You can just see the 1st of the two 52 storey Contour concrete cores popping up on the Skyline at New Jackson. To the right of South tower, which is currently the tallest tower in Manchester. To be over taken by Viadux 2 in a few years time.

House of Social - 15 fl - First Street - City Centre

We’re incredibly proud to share a recent achievement by the P L F Ltd team on the House of Social, First Street project. This week, our skilled operatives installed the high-level arches facing River Street in Manchester city center—a complex and intricate feat that showcases the precision and craftsmanship our team brings to every project.

The brickwork looks stunning well done those lads up on the platform :)

I agree but I quite like it, at least it's not yet another SH square grey tower.

Sorry to moan JRB ;-)

I guess the lack of windows on that side of the building adds to the "strange-ness", for me. I see the narrow strip of windows up the middle, by the way!


The brickwork is very nice, mind.

If anyone wants continual development updates, browse SSC- MCR. I'm scratching the surface on this thread.

I get your point.

I get your point.

I'm not being contrary for the sake of it*. You know my feelings re old compared to new buildings.




*some on here might argue that point!

Working on there myself. It's a nice designed building. Nice inside with the dark wood and brass fittings

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.

And when you ask people that don't like glass towers, or people that don't like brick buildings, what they do like, they almost never have an answer. Other than occasionally 'the town hall'.
