Manchester’s Changing Skyline

Taken from 20 Stories - Spinningfields.

Been in a couple of times myself. Once pre-opening. Great views of the city centre and Gtr Manchester.

Below is the new and emerging St John’s/Enterprise City district. It includes the old Granada Studios. A mixture of residential, offices, leisure, Factory International, etc. The property developer is Allied London.

The tower under construction is Union Living - 32 stories. Another and similar tower next it is also under construction. That will be 36 stories.

A mere tiddler. But a decent mid-rise filler

Going to stick to the changing skyline and towers otherwise I’ll be on here all day posting about the property developments happening in Manchester.

But every now and again I’m going to post something different.

I like office blocks. :-) Over the last few year lots of office blocks have been built in the city centre. The vast majority are really good looking.(as office blocks go)

A couple of my favourites at the moment are 4 New Bailey - 10 stories - New Bailey. Pre-let to and built for BT.

The cladding is superb.

Another cracker.

Eden - 15 stories - New Bailey

Covering over 3,000m² of the façade with more than 350,000 plants of 32 different species, we are on the way to completing the second largest living wall in the world (the first we completed in Qatar in 2018, named Khalifa Avenue). Located in the heart of Manchester, a seemingly small patch of land in the cultural hub of Salford is being transformed into a 15-storey office building, which will set the sustainable building agenda for years to come.

Unfortunately you can only post 5 pictures per post, so the pictures will be posted in the next post. Perhaps something for Ric to look at and change?

Yesterday(last week), I had an amazing opportunity to visit Eden at New Bailey construction site in Manchester city centre.

The New Bailey project features what is being billed as Europe’s largest living wall and most sustainable office space in the UK.

Thank you Emmanuel Afranie (Msc. PLSCM) and Bowmer and Kirkland Ltd for making this happen!

I've withdrawn my offer - no way could I sleep in a place held to gether by a) Plants , but moreover, b) Sellotape!
 
Superb pic's in this thread, as always though. Thanks for starting it.

No probs. :-) Should have started it a long time ago.

I’m always trawling LInkedin, Twitter, Instagram, etc for skyline, tower, construction, etc pictures.(drone videos)

I do a monthly city centre construction roundup. Or as much of the city centre that I can get around in one day. The next city centre construction roundup is due later this month. I’ll post the pictures on the thread.
