Amazing news Manchester is really knocking it out of the park in terms of development. I am absolutely shocked HS2 won’t run there it almost feels vindictive.

Brilliant news. Although I am really hoping someone decides to build onthose three story 90s terraces and flat carparks which dot the city.
These tall residential buildings all seem to be circling the southeast of the city, rather than using the ample space to the north & east, especially by Picadillly.

Great news! If the UK is to grow, we need to support more of that development outside of London, and I say that as someone who’s lived and worked in London for the last 20+ years.

>The proposals include a 78-storey tower which, at 895ft (272m) tall, will be the third-largest skyscraper in the UK, taking the spot from One Canada Square in London’s Canary Wharf.

Manchesters boom is the success story we don’t see to talk about, its one of the fastest growing regions in europe.

Unfortunately, there’s so many legal loopholes the social housing element of this build will either dwindle significantly or disappear entirely to replaced with either a sports facility or community centre. I see it time and time again. Most of these homes will be unaffordable and will either be snapped up by Chinese investors or bought on mass for the rental market.
