In this AidanEyewitness video, we take a look around the new skyscraper District of Greengate, just a short walk from Deansgate in Manchester city centre.

There are already around six tall residential buildings here, with more to come including One Heritage Tower, which has been delayed. Unfortunately, I don’t have any information about it at the moment, but I’ll keep my ear to the ground!

The Colliers Yard development is by developers Renaker and features three tall residential towers: Cortland, Bankside and Parkside. The first two are finished, the third is about to commence construction.

They have turned a disused urban backwater into an upmarket residential quarter, whilst preserving some of its history. The origins of Greengate go back to the Middle Ages and before. This is where the mediaeval town of Salford was once located.

During the making of this video, the AidanEyewitness channel passed 5000 subscribers, a significant milestone.
