Not only that but it's an approved project in Manchester, so there wouldn't be any planning issues.

Whats it got to do with the Olympics?

Why not ask in the Manchster section?

***gothicform*** · January 20th, 2006, 05:06 AM

well i think maybe we could have this here too as it IS a major project and obviously a lot of forumers dont even know it exists. think of it as a refresher thread. guys there is one on it in the manc forums though...

Manchester Planner · January 20th, 2006, 12:25 PM

Eastgate is...

1)Fully approved to be built.
2)The site is clear, ready for it to be built.
3)Expected to start construction later this year and be finished in 2008/2009.

They're currently looking for tennants and such like. It is 90% certain to be built.

Manchester Planner · January 20th, 2006, 12:26 PM

Oh and it's also known as the "Inacity" tower, as they're building it. Eastgate is the overall development.

I was gonna say that glass building in the top left (My knowledge of anyting outside a 5 mile radius of Capital cities is approximately 0) doesnt look like it could be on London

JDRS · January 20th, 2006, 04:21 PM

I really can't wait to see this on Manchester's skyline. I don't like the podium at the bottom but it's going to have a really big impression on the skyline, and hopefully the cladding will be done well.

DarJoLe · January 20th, 2006, 04:43 PM

Bit like Riverside South in London. Except we get two.

Manchester Planner · January 20th, 2006, 04:48 PM

Also ours will actually be built this side of 2012..

Gherkin · January 20th, 2006, 07:18 PM

oooh you slag!!! lol I'm sure both will be built plenty in time for the Olympics...

The top rendering is great! How often do you ever see a computer image of a new building that isn't in glorious sunshine or the soft pink glow of sunset? The pic makes it look like the Darth Vader of skyscrapers.

And Londons is taller

I like the Eastgate Tower but it seems a bit stuck out on its own, as are some of the other proposals for Manchester.

I think a more 'centralised' skyline would look better.

I'd like to see that too but I remember one Manc forumer saying that the proposals could result in a ring of skyscrapers around the city centre.
