Greater Manchester neighbourhood could soon be home to the UK's third-tallest skyscraper

The third-tallest skyscraper in the UK could be built in Salford, new documents have revealed. If approved, the landmark would only be smaller than The Shard and 22 Bishopsgate in London.

Henley Investment Management is behind the proposed development which would stand at 264 metres on land at Regent Retail Park. Outline proposals for the scheme were revealed in March but this is the first time it's been confirmed how high its tallest building will rise.

The plans have been revealed in an EIA scoping opinion request submitted to Salford City Council. A planning application is expected to submitted by autumn this year and if approved construction could start in 2026, with the first residents moving in two years later.
