PLANS HAVE BEEN UNVEILED FOR A NEW 76 STOREY CITY CENTRE SKYSCRAPER FEATURING 780 APARTMENTS

Developers and are behind the proposed plans, which would be the second phase of the Viadux project, the first phase of which is the 40 storey tower about to be finished on the former Bauer Millet showroom site by Deansgate-Castlefield tram stop and behind Manchester Central.

The tower is set to be taller than Renaker’s 71 storey tower The Lighthouse, the foundations of which are currently being dug out next to the Deansgate Square apartment buildings.

To be built in two phases, the 76 tower will be built alongside a smaller 23 storey tower. In all, the development will provide 900 new dwellings, including 130 affordable apartments.

The new tower will dwarf the nearby Beetham Tower, which at 47 storeys and 554 feet was the tallest building in Manchester for 12 years before being topped by the South Tower at Deansgate Square at 659 feet.

According to the consultation website, which has just been launched, ‘Phase Two provides the opportunity to deliver new affordable homes to the city centre’s housing offer, together with commercial spaces to support the city’s economic growth’.

It goes on: “This sensitive and dynamic townscape demands a building of the very highest design quality, that protects and celebrates the quality of the Victorian viaduct arches, whilst making a genuinely positive contribution to Manchester’s skyline and returning the streetscape to its citizens.

As well as the proposed towers, new public spaces are also part of the plans, which according to developers will create ‘a safer and more efficient pedestrian route into the city’.

A drop-in event for those interested in looking at the plans will happen on 4 December from 4pm to 7pm at 53Two, on Watson Street.

Buy a derelict farmhouse, restore it and then build 3 farmers cottages with huge garages on a title spilt.

NEW KEY DAY 🔑 BRR 2 SA
Meet .rs (fellow good🥚😜) friend and now JV partner on this loft apartment, we’ve purchased it using a commercial mortgage provided by Shawbrook. We’ll be converting this property into a luxury serviced apartment.
It’s coastal base and within walking distance from one of the UK most famous golf courses
These properties are over hundred years old, built properly with so much character and space.
Our first auction purchase, it should have completed 56 days after we won. It took a further 9 weeks which would normally result in losing the (high) auction reservation fee of £6300 😵‍💫 luckily on this deal they were able to extend the deadline each month as the delays were with the sellers solicitors. Lots of pushing and pulling from each of the solicitors and the lenders we’re extremely involved as it’s the first within a limited company.
If you are interested in doing deal like this or sourcing of similar properties in this area please drop me a line 🤝

How would you convert this building? 🚧
We’re living in times where these beautifully designed and constructed buildings are closing at a super fast rate weekly. So sad to see the high streets in this way, so many empty shops here in the Northwest. 198 banks just like this one in my home town are due to close in 2023, then they’ll be 2024 and so on….🪦

What could possibly go wrong ? 🌫️🌫️🌫️
First time ever spraying a room, hotter and more fun than I imagined. Loving the finish too 🙌
Let me know if your want your room spraying, I’m your man 🤘
