Manchester’s Changing Skyline

[jrb]

Viability constraints have prompted Oval Developments to rethink its plans for the Manchester mixed-use scheme, with a reduction in office space planned.

The developer won permission for its debut Manchester scheme last year. Designed by Studio Egret West, the project proposed a 45-storey skyscraper featuring 367 homes and a distinctive 350,000 sq ft office block rising to 19 storeys.

of my favourite views of the city centre at street level.

Seeing Beetham tower and Viadux 1 next to each other in the distance.

My client used to own the building to the left in the foreground. Not a fan of the additional storey.

You’ve got some very rich clients. :-)

I quite like the redevelopment of the building as a whole. I take your point about the additional storey, even though it follows the curve of the building, and is quite plain and inoffensive.

I like that, how refreshing to not have yet another off the shelf Simpson Haugh design.

The tower might not survive the redesign of the overall proposal? The office block is definitely going. Which is a shame because it looks great.

And it is highly likely that is exactly what planners would have wanted to see and maybe even actively pushed.

Just not in character with the original building imo. It was a bit neglected - owners were just waiting for a developer to come along and take it off their hands.

Not sure if this is right topic but Brunswick mill , miles platting renovations in full swing.
For context that massive gap used to be a side building .

The refurbishment of Manchester Town Hall is costing £375mill. Albert Square in front of the Town Hall is also being refurbished with new paving, new trees, new landscaping, new street furniture and new lighting. The far right side of Albert Square has been refurbished and is open to the public. Visible in the drone video.

There’s a few decent shots of the town hall at the start of the video. And one decent shot of St Michael’s at the start of the video. The majority of the video is about St Peter’s Square. The 1st picture is enlarged and screen grabbed from the 2nd picture. Hence being a little blurred.

As construction of Berkeley Square, Manchester continues, we've put together this quick round-up to keep you updated:

The Structural Framing System (SFS) has been installed up to level 5.
Window installations have reached level 4, steadily enclosing the building.
Facade insulation and the render base coat have been applied at the lower and upper ground floor levels in preparation for the installation of mast climbers.
Roof finishes have been completed for the level 7 roof terrace and core 2, which marks a major milestone in the project’s progress.

Has anyone ever bought a 1 bed apartment in the city centre and it went up in value?

I’m trying to buy somewhere - where I live in marple is so competitive and pricey so it doesn’t leave me with much chance.

So I’m looking for other areas to potentially buy in

I live in Romiley mate, only a few miles away and cheaper than Marple.

1 bed apartments are flying out still. Loads of young people, mainly Techies, working in IT, are after 1 bed apartments.
