Yes, that’s some entrance into the city centre.

It’s got a North American city look about it.
Yeah . Especially at night . That " wall " will look even more impressive once the 4 Trinity towers are up along with the Viadux , Downing and the Plot F towers at Deansgate Square . i personally think the view heading into Manchester from Cheetham hill is even better .

Not to mention from Hulme and Hulme Park.

Day 2 has started well with an amazing tour of the viadux.

Viadux has risen ‘through the arches’ under the Manchester central car park. An amazing build.

Heard from a good source that the land on which sits The Angel pub is being purchased for development. I can't say it comes as a suprise as it's surrounded by new builds, and the owners appear to have been holding out for the best bid. With it's car park/yard/beer 'garden' it's a fair sized footprint.

They have certainly let the place rundown and not spent a penny on it's upkeep for a long time. (Ceiling plaster flaking off? Staple a big black sheet over it ... sorted) :-) Despite that, it's still a good pint and will be missed.
 
Land currently occupied by Stocktons furniture showroom and the former Presbar foundry is to be redeveloped into an office-led, mixed-use destination featuring residential towers of up to 45 storeys.
