Huge new Deansgate tower next to historic pub will be even taller

A tower being squeezed in next to a historic city centre pub is going to GROW in height — but will be changed to better match its surroundings.

However, new documents reveal the soon-to-be Staycity hotel will increase in height by 600mm — equivalent to two school rulers. Architects SimpsonHaugh say it’s necessary to ‘guarantee plant is visually screened from street level’.“The revised proposals therefore increase the height of the perimeter cladding to form a taller parapet around the roof slab level,” a planning statement added.

But that isn’t the only alteration, with Manchester City Council’s planning department also approving a switch to brick-effect cladding on lower floors of the skyscraper in order to blend in better with The Deansgate next door.
