## Resource

Manchester’s skyline is about to get a major upgrade with five new skyscrapers, including a 71-story titan reaching 213 meters, all set to deliver over 2,300 luxury apartments on Great Jackson Street. Developed by Renaker—the same firm behind Deansgate Square—this project is part of the city’s bold urban transformation plan. But controversy looms: none of the units will be affordable, despite city council approval in 2024 amid vocal opposition. The development promises over 900 construction jobs and 100 permanent roles, while a recent court ruling cleared Renaker of subsidy claims related to past projects. As these towers rise, the debate over housing equity intensifies—will Manchester’s future be defined by ambition—or affordability?
