Thanks, i read that there is third tower, smaller than Vaidux 1 and couldn’t find much information on it. Thanks for your reply. Have a good Easter too.

@@jonldronevideos Yes you are correct there are 2 towers as part of Viadux Phase 2 if that makes sense. One is a tower of around 20 storeys of affordable homes to go apparently, in between Viadux Phase 1 and Beetham Tower. The 76-storey tower is partly where the original 15-storey office block was to go. To the East of Viadux Phase 1.

@@jonldronevideos Thanks also for your coverage of St. Michael's which you can see in the distance. Split into two phases too. Phase 1 the offices and rooftop restaurant I think is due to complete this year. Relentless say they want St. Michael's to be the last word in luxury. They retain the Sir Ralph Abercromby historic pub and over St. Michael's Square are to complete St. Michael's Tower. Currently planned for 41-storeys, apartments from £300k each to £6m each. I say currently because Relentless's partner Domis, who are going to construct it, want to add two extra floors. St. Michael's Tower is due to complete in 2027. St. Michael's Phase 1 offices have already been pre-let to two legal firms. The hotel is to be run by W hotels and the rooftop restaurant on Phase 1 overlooking Albert Square is to be run by Chotto Matte a Japanese restaurant.

@@jonldronevideos What you may have grasped is that Mcr is the student city par-excellence in Europe. It has the highest number in it's campus. Mcr is bucking the national trend in construction largely because of undergraduates and graduates. 52% of it's graduates find jobs and stay in Mcr. Yet 61% of graduates in Mcr graduate elsewhere. It is irrisistable to them apparently, the buzz of student life, the arts, bars etc and it's half the cost of London. Renaker and Salboy say they can't build fast enough. They aim particularly at graduates and price towards a graduate's salary. Renaker's founder and chairman was at the MIPIM conference in Cannes 3 week ago. He said they have provided 8k homes so far with another 8k in the pipeline. I think your drone is going to be busy! 😉 Three undergraduate towers also worth keeping an eye on. Chandos Hall 2.0 (I don't know it's official name) is well under way on Echo Street facing Piccadilly Stn near Vimto Park. Terracotta coloured when finished. Fusion's Deansgate South Student tower not far from your 325 Deansgate is having groundwork done, it too should be terracotta coloured. The third still going through public consultation is Jadebricks student tower on Charles Street, next to the Maldron Hotel. A nursery and an M.O.T. garage have objected. Currently a car-park. If it gets passed it will be mainly a green tower.

@@English_Dawn just been filming the Echo street student accommodation project.

Thanks

Think it will have 21 or 22

@@jonldronevideos nice

It's a hotel. Not part of Salboy's Phase 1 which has been completed nor their Phase 2 which has not commenced. Hope that helps. 👍 In the distance you can see St. Michael's which is nearing the end of it's own particular Phase 1, with St. Michael's Tower as Phase 2. 👀

It’s quite close to the site of phase 2, I thought it was the start of phase 3 and the towers being built out of order. English dawn has added information.

@@jonldronevideos It is understandable, there are so many towers going up and developers change their plans that are already passed due to market conditions e.g. Covid19 & Working From Home. Viadux Phase 2 is a prime example. An elegant tower, One Heritage Tower, in Greengate, Salford, is having groundwork done 👷🚧. Hard hats everyone! 😉

It makes you wonder what it will look like in 10 or 20 years time

Can't hold a candle to Canary Wharf...

@@wellifthemediasaysit Canary warf is an interesting place but these are residential buildings not offices. One Canada square is 235 metres tall and only the 3rd tallest. Beetham tower and Deansgate south tower in Manchester are some of the tallest residences in the UK if not Europe.

@@jonldronevideosCW has several 200m plus residential towers! Manchester definitely need to add balconies, OR a public observation deck/rooftop terrace, in order to compete!

@@wellifthemediasaysit yes a restaurant like on The Shard
