River Street Tower is an approved skyscraper scheme in Manchester, England. The building was originally proposed in June 2012 and approved in October 2012. The land was sold to new owners and a revised application was made and approved in 2015. The building will be situated next to the Mancunian Way on land which is currently occupied by a half-built concrete frame. The concrete structure was first built in 2005 but was abandoned after the original developer went into liquidation. At high, upon its completion River Street Tower will be the second tallest building in Manchester and the third tallest building in the United Kingdom outside London, after the Beetham Tower, which is also in Manchester and the West Tower in Liverpool. ==Background== Chelmer Developments bought the site in April 2011 and pursued development opportunities. Liaising with Manchester City Council, the company commissioned SimpsonHaugh and Partners to devise design proposals for a skyscraper building above 100 metres in height. The company held a four-week consultation period in spring 2012. The planning application was submitted in July 2012 and Manchester City Council approved the plans in October 2012. Approval was confirmed on 25 October 2012 at the quarterly planning committee meeting. Demolition of the existing concrete structure was expected to begin in earnest, though works did not commence. The land was subsequently sold to new owners, Bolton-based development firm Forshaw Land & Property and a revised planning application was made and approved by Manchester City Council in 2015 for 420 privately-rented apartments, fewer than the 600 originally planned in the 2012 scheme. Construction of the skyscraper is expected to take approximately 18 months with the demolition of the concrete car park shell to commence in November 2015. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「River Street Tower」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
