Spectacular new student accommodation in the heart of Manchester

A leader in building high-quality student housing, the client approached us to navigate the planning process of this new project. The striking design of the proposed building will not only take advantage of the unusual triangular-shaped plot of land it will occupy but also utilise materials that encapsulate the industrial history of Manchester. Located in a prominent position by the old canal docks, it will create a new landmark upon entering the city.

When the client acquired the site, permission for a building had been granted. However, the new proposal increased the height of the accommodation to 28 storeys and added several new communal living elements for student wellbeing.
