"There's a magic about it": What it's like to live in 'Manchester's Dubai'

Stylish restaurants have been popping up at the burgeoning Deansgate Square district in Manchester city centre in recent weeks. Kitten - a Japanese restaurant with striking interior - opened its doors this weekend and follows in the footsteps of Salvi’s and The Green Lab.

The Square is becoming more of a destination for people to visit from across the city, but also a vibrant neighbourhood for the residents who live in the cluster of skyscrapers above. There are four shiny glass towers in total - with South Tower being the tallest residential building in Manchester at 67 storeys high.

You may have seen pictures of eye-opening sunsets taken from the apartments shared on Instagram, or you may have been passing by and wondered what it’s actually like to live there.
