Domis lined up for 44-storey Manchester tower after Gateway 2
Developer Glenbrook has cleared the Gateway 2 building safety stage for a 364-home, 44-storey tower on Whitworth Street West beside Manchester's Deansgate station, designed by Sheppard Robson. The scheme has planning permission and funding in place, including £17 million from the Greater Manchester Good Growth Fund, and contractor Domis is lined up to start building in 2027. It will be Glenbrook's tallest project to date.
Our readClearing the Building Safety Regulator's Gateway 2 stage matters more than the planning permission here, since that is the check that has stalled a string of tall residential schemes since the Building Safety Act came into force.
