Nine-year project to build four skyscrapers with ‘huge’ public space gets green light

A nine-year project to build four skyscrapers - including one which is set to be the second tallest building in Manchester - has been given the green light.

The apartment blocks, ranging from 39 to 60 storeys in height, are planned for two parcels of land on the banks of the River Irwell known as Trinity Islands.

The 'elegant' buildings featuring 1,950 flats would be located on land between Regent Road, Liverpool Road and Water Street which is currently a car park.
