Trinity Islands, Manchester
History
Original proposal
The project began when the original developer Allied London proposed five towers on the site, with the tallest – at 67 storeys – reaching a height of 213 m (699 ft). If built, this tower would have overtaken Deansgate Square South Tower to be the tallest building in Greater Manchester, as well as the tallest building in the United Kingdom outside London. The scheme would have delivered around 1,390 homes, costing approximately £1.3 billion. This development was approved by Manchester City Council in July 2017.
Revised proposal
The site was subsequently sold to developer Renaker in 2018 for £13.4 million, who redesigned the scheme and lodged an application for 1,950 apartments with Manchester City Council in December 2021. Planning approval was obtained in February 2022.
Construction
Construction of the first tower, Trinity Islands Building D2 (169 m (554 ft)), renamed Vista River Gardens, commenced in 2022. Construction of the second tower, Building D1 (183 m (600 ft)) commenced in autumn 2023.
