Manchester’s Changing Skyline

The best view of Manchester is from the imperial war museum, at night. The sky scrapers are reflected off the open water by Salford Quays. With all the lights are on, if you squint, it looks like Chicago.


Yeah, it’s hard to believe it’s Manchester. Or should that now be Manchattan?

We did it! Planning consent for the Great Northern and a new future for 6 acres of central Manchester!

56991B48-9F87-440D-8F84-D08E96B9CFBA.jpegA huge team has worked tirelessly and with huge passion for over 8 years to listen, design and listen again to arrive at a proposed scheme we are extremely proud of. There is much still to do and we will continue to work hard to bring to life to what has been in our imaginations for so many years.

On a personal note, I'm so excited to be bringing the magnificent Great Northern Warehouse building back to life as an engine of Manchester's productivity. This is a building that symbolises so much about the industrial past of the city - but it also presents a huge opportunity for its future.

We're now on the cusp of the fourth industrial revolution and Manchester is once again a leader on the global stage. This is the city that gave the world graphene. A city of 100,000 students - a fifth of whom came here from overseas. Home to a tech economy that data from Department for Culture, Media and Sport says has attracted more than £1.8 billion in VC funding in the last 5 years, and £532 million in 2022 alone.

We are going to build the space that the innovators of the future economy will want to be in - from start-ups to unicorns - in the heart of a walkable, sustainable, truly urban district that plays a full role in the unique and diverse life of truly wonderful #Manchester.


Trilogy Real Estate and Peterson Group’s plans to deliver 150,000 sq ft of offices and 746 homes at the prominent Deansgate site have been granted planning approval.

Designed by SimpsonHaugh, the development will see the historic Great Northern Warehouse converted into 120,000 sq ft workspace with apartments delivered across 34-, 27-, and 16-storey new-build towers.

I'll start posting the pictures form the city centre construction picture update over the next couple of day's.

A week late. Had a problem with the PC.

Managed to get around half the city centreish.

Might be a couple of duplicates.

Note the external cladding mockup for the office element of the proposal.

Looks fantastic!

St Michael's.

Do we really need more office space? A lot of the offices since covid are half empty

I work in one of the largest just off deansgate and barely any goes in and that’s not changing any time soon.

I work in one of the largest just off deansgate and barely any goes in and that’s not changing any time soon.

Office workers are returning to the offices.

According to various websites, there are large office space requirements for the city centre.

A bumper Q4 saw 427,000 sq ft of deals complete in the city centre, taking yearly transactions comfortably above the 1m sq ft mark, according to Manchester Office Agents Forum.

The 1.2m sq ft of deals recorded in 2022 is 15% higher than the 1m sq ft take-up figure in 2021 and not far off the 1.45m sq ft recorded in 2019.

React News is pay wall.

 
It's our first drone shot of the year, and just look how far we've come! It's looking chilly on the construction site but nothing can stop our incredible builders.
