MULTITOWER PROJECT PROPOSED IN GREATER MANCHESTER, U.K.

A masterplan for Michigan Avenue in the Salford Quays area of Greater Manchester, U.K., foresees as many as 1,500 new homes across a series of towers that could rise as high as 45 stories, Architects' Journal reports. Jeffrey Bell Architects, a Manchester-based firm, submitted an outline planning application on behalf of developer Peel Land and Property and its parent company, Tokenhouse. The submission suggests three to six towers of 14 to 40 floors with the "potential" for 45 stories. The towers would include ground-floor commercial, topped by residential apartments, student accommodations and co-living units.
