Plans for 35-storey Manchester student tower

Student accommodation developer Unite has gone out to public consultation with plans for a 600-bedroom scheme in central Manchester.

The 1-5 New Wakefield Street scheme is expected to rise to around 35 storeys and has been designed by Beetham Tower architects SimpsonHaugh & Partners.

The tower would stand adjacent to another high-rise student accommodation project: the 33-storey Liberty Living building, formerly known as Student Castle.

Unite plans the vast majority of the accommodation to be arranged in clusters of 5-10 bedrooms. There will also be a number of studio flats. Anodised aluminium is proposed as the cladding for the building.
