They are building 2 towers on the plot. They are called the Contour Towers. The next phase of New Jackson Street.

Thanks

[@English_Dawn]

Thanks for the update! 🙂👍 I had missed that.

[@davidwatson353]

Begs the question, that if the people who bought and moved into the pre existing towers next to the new one, did they not realise that they would end up living in the shade and the dark permanently

[@jonldronevideos]

I think it was always in planning

[@rinkydinkmcruk]

Yes the model for the area has been there for years and as well as these two being started now, there are 5 more to come in the immediate area

[@English_Dawn]

Thanks for the update Jon! 🙂 Very good and descriptive footage showing context. 🖐️

Beautifull. Nice choice of music too

Excellent footage. 👌 Great flight

[@jonldronevideos]

Thanks

[@user-pg3kl5zj3f]

Just wish they would make some towers that look different:/

[@jonldronevideos]

Yes a bit of variety would be nice

[@paulwild9062]

Vision on Whitworth Street, has started too. There will be a cavernous feel to this area soon.

[@jonldronevideos]

A lot of the area will end up dark

[@stefanoricci1602]

Manchester, Please build some towers that have some character.

[@jonldronevideos]

There all looking much the same

[@PixiesChannel12345]

The people in the other sky scraper aren't gonna be very happy about losing their view but the new tenants will be on gaining it lol

[@jonldronevideos]

It never going to last. Most are brought for investment and let out to tenants working in city centre

[@rinkydinkmcruk]

They will have known, the model for the area has been known for years and is freely available to view

[@williebobs3830]

Make it Manchatten. Wish i could be alive to see it. Think of all the job opportunities & opportunities for small business people. We are the true 2nd city.

@@jackthelad5366 it's got a few more people that's all. Manchester has the biggest & best university in the country, it's own business quarter, tech community & soon the tallest building in the country along with the best nightlife in the land. Bankrupt Birminham does'nt come close to Manchester.

[@jackthelad5366]

@@williebobs3830 apparently Leeds has the best uni (one of five)according to student surveys but what would they know, you seem very insecure about Manchester, but keep changing the facts to bolster your insecurity, I believe the totally neutral Sunday Times just voted leeds the best Northern city for most of the attributes you've listed, but I could be wrong

[@williebobs3830]

@@jackthelad5366 No insecurities. I know we'll never match London. I also know you and the sunday times are wrong. Deep down, you know it. 🙂.

[@jackthelad5366]

Ha you’re quite a funny bloke (a deluded one) but funny all the same, as northern cities go i think the Sunday times have a valid point about leeds tho, the three cities that shadow the M62 are all pretty decent, just for clarity hull is not included, take care 👍

[@speedtriplerider7853]

There's 2 going up there mate, both 154m

Thanks

[@user-ye7xp6es4i]

I hate these tower block's. I Prefer the old building's.

[@jonldronevideos]

I prefer the stone buildings, they have some fantastic features. The new stuff is a bit boring. Quick and cheaper to build.

[@Wriggs74]

Oh, look, another tall building with chequered window prison, overpriced apartment block. R.I.P Manchester.

[@MadeInManny0161]

RIP manchester it is manchester? 😅

[@samdaniels2]

I bet you're just a typical NIMBY boomer who doesn't like any progress. Manchester is becoming a world class city but some people like you will always find something to complain about no matter what they do.

[@paulwild3676]

The surface car park overlooking the biggest slum in Europe, Hulme, was so much better than the booming view in this video.

More aweful badly designed cramped no parking expensive housing for the Hong Kong and Chinese ex pats !!! Mmmm beautiful 😮

[@rinkydinkmcruk]

Wtf are you on about. You don’t want to live there don’t buy one. Simples

[@samdaniels2]

Why is parking so important in a city with great public transportation? Surely the encouragement of more car-free cities is surely a good thing?

[@rufdymond]

Bit of a silly comment - my mate lives in one of these towers and they are full of local people, and many people who have relocated from elsewhere in the country. They are not really my thing, but this nonsense that they a full of foreigners is miles from the truth.

[@jonldronevideos]

How does your friend find living in one of the apartments. They do look nice from the inside
