Student Castle/the Tumbstone - 55 Stories - Oxford Road Corridor
A bid to overturn the city council’s decision to grant planning permission for GMS Parking’s controversial student skyscraper between Great Marlborough Street and Hulme Street has failed.
Manchester City Council’s planning committee approved GMS’ plans for the 55-storey, 853-bedroom development in June 2021. (At the time, Cllr William Jeavons dubbed the £130m project a “cheese grater-esque tombstone”.)

Yes, it has had mixed reactions. I’m personally looking forward to seeing it under construction and seeing how it turns out.
Construction on the 477-apartment One Port Street is set to begin soon, with hoardings going up this week.
Renaker Build is the main contractor for Select Property’s Manchester project, which was designed by architect SimpsonHaugh. The construction cost for the scheme was listed as £126.5m in 2021, according to a viability statement by Lambert Smith Hampton. The same report listed the gross development value of the project as £154m.
One Port Street will be the flagship for Select’s newest residential brand, The Prestige Collection.
