UK's tallest tower outside London approved by Manchester council



A planning application by Salboy Group, that will see it build the UK’s tallest tower outside London, has been approved by Manchester City Council.


Called Viadux 2, the development will consist of two towers with one 76 storeys high and the other 23 storeys high.

Located in Deansgate, the 76-storey tower will include a 160-bedroom hotel, restaurant and 452 branded residences.

This will be called Nobu Manchester and adjacent from the 40-storey tower built during Viadux’s first phase.

At 246 metres this will be the UK’s tallest building located outside London.

The 23-storey tower, that has yet to be named, will be located on Great Bridgewater street and include 133 new apartments aimed at the affordable housing market.

“We are delighted with the Council’s decision to approve our plans to complete the Viadux masterplan,” said Simon Ismail, managing director at Salboy.

“Viadux promises to deliver a neighbourhood of high-quality, design-led homes that meet Manchester’s substantial need for accommodation at a range of price points and tenure types, while bringing to the Manchester cityscape a truly crowning feature. 

“Once completed, the Viadux scheme will have entirely regenerated an 80,000 sq ft brownfield site, in easy walking distance of all of Manchester’s central business, retail and leisure districts, and added almost 1,000 brand new homes to a coveted and popular location for the city’s professional population.”
