Manchester’s Changing Skyline

Deborah Matura.

The Manchester skyline from the Lancashire moors ca.15 miles north yesterday... more & more skyscrapers are making it look like a mini Manhattan these days, but it's certainly quite impressive against the hills of the Peak District another ca.20 miles away to its east! At Holcombe Moor.

I was quite shocked by the amount of ghost car parks and empty plots of land at Victoria North. It reminded me of what New Cross used to be like. The sooner Victoria North is developed and completed by FEC (and MCC) the better.

I went to Moor Lane a bunch of times in the 80s and 90s, watching Radcliffe Borough and also as, for a couple of years, I lived on the other side of Bury Old Road and would see the odd match. It used to look like this.

Hasn’t changed much, has it.

Apparently Neville and his mates are £23mill lighter in the pocket thanks to Salford City.

Yesterday(posted 3 days ago), I had the privilege of visiting the rooftop of our One Port Street project as the building has officially topped out. From the 33rd floor, the views of Manchester are incredible.

Great to see St Michael's, Manchester, coming out of the basement – the progress is incredible!

With the second floor poured and the core almost back at ground level, it’s changing fast.

We recently toured one of Manchester’s most exciting transformation projects: The Rylands Building.

Rylands is now being meticulously restored to its refined past, reimagined as a workspace-led, mixed-use development.
