Managed to find an update on the proposed One Heritage tower - 55 stories - Greengate.

The One Heritage tower proposals has been crawling along for years.

Last October One Heritage appointed Midgard to construct the tower. Construction still hasn’t started.

Place North West

Listed developer One Heritage has appointed Midgard to construct what would be the city’s tallest tower after failing to agree a way forward with Laing O’Rourke.

Pre-construction service agreement with a principal contractor on both One Victoria and One Heritage tower to provide cost certainty prior to committing contractually to the construction works on these two projects.(or words to that effect)

That’s a stunner!

^ What’s the name of the civil engineering company on that development? Is it Mayo?

The changing face of Manchester. We're proud to be involved in this great city!

Thank you to VU.CITY for allowing us to use some of their CGI's highlighting The Future of Manchester City Centre.



Piling work is continuing at our Lomax Street site in Piccadilly Manchester. This project will see the creation of a mix of one and two bedroom apartments, including private balconies.

That’s a stunner!

It is!
Sadly it’s been crawling along for years and continues to do so.
Hopefully One Heritage tower will rise one day, but I still have my doubts about that.
There have been some tweaks to the design since those CGI’s were released. Probably cost cutting measures.

TBH I don’t know.

Very nearly secured the funding for this. Aren't they going in for planning for an adjacent tower? the whole Mcr/Salford border is just nuts - hardly any plots left between Chapel St & Trinity Way.

Once complete, Renaker’s Greengate masterplan will feature three towers of 52, 43, and 41 storeys and more than 1,500 apartments.

Isn't Liverpool's lack of tall buildings due the World Heritage status - 3 Graces, Albert Docks, etc.?
Ovatus I & II just sold, which will be adjacent to those on the right of this picture.
There were claims the heritage status was holding back Liverpool's progress. As a city, there are some stunning buildings in Liverpool city centre - one of my clients owned a couple of Grade II* listed buildings, of which one was truly magnificent - India Buildings.

Being full of scousers probably holds it back more ;-)

Anchorage Quay - 31 stories - Salford Quays.

A year in progress at Anchorage:

These photos show the progress made on our Anchorage Gateway residential scheme over the last 12 months by Domis Construction and the project team. The images also perfectly capture the evolution of the wider Manchester skyline in the background.

The regeneration of this brownfield site in the heart of Salford Quays will create 290 residential units, consisting of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments in addition to two floors of amenities and landscaped terraces with enviable views of Salford Quays and Manchester.

UNESCO stripped Liverpool of it’s World Heritage Status in July 2021.

TBH I don’t think most Scousers were too bothered.

I got the impression Liverpudlians thought the status was holding Liverpool and it’s property development ambitions back.

That property development ambition hasn’t materialised yet bar a few residential buildings going up, and the construction of Everton’s new ground.

Property development companies from outside of Liverpool are reluctant to go into city. I wonder why? Residential development remains sporadic. And office development remains pretty much non existent.

Because its like trying to work in amongst the cartels at their height and not worth the aggro....

Planning Dept then??? I know they got shown their arses by the agents over the Debenhams unit in Liverpool One - They thought the leisure use proposed would turn it into a "circus" and asked why they couldn't get a retailer to take the whole premises. Completely out of touch with reality.

First Breath is a celebration of new life across Greater Manchester. From 1 to 29 January 2023, powerful beams of light will shoot up high above the city skyline and slowly pulse to represent the moment that a baby takes its first gasp of air.

Liverpool City Council are pretty notorious for being shit. Sadly its the fractious nature of the Labour councillors. The decent ones fighting 2 fronts with hard left militant types on their case.

The polar opposite with the greater Manchester councils. Most Labour controlled and well run.
