Scheme will be 67 storeys high
Proposals to create a 67-storey skyscraper in Manchester have been approved by councillors.
The giant 237m high tower is part of the Trinity Islands residential development, by Allied London, which will provide 1,400 new homes in the city.
The scheme was granted planning permission by Manchester City Council鈥檚 planning and highways committee yesterday (Thursday).
Designed by Child Graddon Lewis, the building will dwarf Ian Simpson鈥檚 Beetham Tower 鈥� which at 169m high is currently the city鈥檚 tallest building.
The height of the tower is the 鈥減roduct of trying to make a dynamic and attractive silhouette,鈥� according to Greg Jones, associate director at Child Graddon Lewis.
He added: 鈥淚t鈥檚 going to be visible for miles, it鈥檚 a soaring aspirational building.鈥�
