Thanks as ever for yet more interesting & informative posts on this thread. Fwiw, I agree with your qualms about the proposed design.Overal I like the proposal. It’s refreshingly and thankfully different. But I do have some concerns. See the enlarged screen grabs from the planning application below.
The office proposal looks great. No complaints about that. I do wonder if the planting on the balconies will ever see the light of day though.
The tower looks to have some issues that need to be addressed in my opinion.
The green crown looks awkward and weak.
The windows and grey cladding in the external innner part of the tower look poor.
The external cladding, which is rainscreen, isn’t great. TBH I don’t particularly like rainscreen cladding.

I've ridden up there doing the Tour de Manc. Stunning backdrop.I need some help.
Does anyone know the name of this Golf course and the address? Can't find any specific info about it. I want to try and get on the golf course or close to the golf course so I can take some up to date pictures of the Manchester skyline. The only information I have is. (thanks)

We had a couple of developers bring schemes in Manchester East (Mayfield area), only to have lenders decline on grounds of it being too much of a regeneration area, and a feeling Manchester could be saturated. These photos in the last few months seem to contradict that opinion. I personally feel it's going to carry on for the foreseeable. Just seen the latest Downing project at First Street - it's on a different scale - £400m and 1.800 units!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.
