Simpson & Haugh-designed cluster gets planning approval

Manchester skyscraper

Plans to build a cluster of towers in Manchester designed by Simpson Haugh & Partners, including the city鈥檚 tallest, have been given the go-ahead by the city council.

The tallest apartment block would rise to 200m, esclipsing the city鈥檚 current tallest building, 168m-high Beetham Tower.

The scheme is by developer Renaker Build and includes 1,500 apartments, basement car parking, a tennis court, swimming pool and retail units. WSP Parsons Brinckerhoff is building services engineer.

Manchester City Council said the scheme would be 鈥渁 striking landmark development鈥� that would regenerate the area.
