Glenbrook has launched a consultation seeking views from the local community about its plans for a 44-storey residential development next to Deansgate station in Manchester.
The scheme comprises 364 flats and more than 7,750 sq ft of commercial space at ground, first and second floor levels. The plans include new green spaces and existing pedestrian routes will be enhanced.
Daniel Roberts, development director at Glenbrook, said: “The site at Whitworth Street West represents a sustainable location with close proximity to the cultural and leisure attractions that Manchester offers. Whitworth Street West is undergoing a period of revitalisation and Glenbrook are proud to be playing an integral part in its future.”
Tony O’Brien, partner at Sheppard Robson which created the building, said: “Our ongoing designs open up the site to create a new piece of public realm at the heart of the development, helping animate the streetscape and enhance connections from the city back to Knott Mill and First Street.
“The building’s expression draws upon the area’s rich history and local palette of materials to further root the design within its context, tying the scheme back to the listed railway viaduct to the south and Deansgate Station to the west.”
Glenbrook’s planning adviser on the scheme is Deloitte.
