History
[edit | edit source]Planning
[edit | edit source]The planning application[2] was submitted to Manchester City Council in April 2016 for 411 apartments in one part 17-storey, part 36-storey tower, 266 apartments within one 17-storey tower, two office towers of 18 and 14-storeys, and a 10-storey car park with more than 1,000 spaces.[3][4]
Planning approval was obtained in June 2016.[4]
In November 2024, Vita Group rebranded its build-to-rent offering as 'uhaus', previously known as Vita Living. The change was introduced to reflect evolving living and working habits, particularly the rise of hybrid working and the demand for integrated amenities.[5]
Construction
[edit | edit source]Construction of the building began in 2018 and was completed in 2021.[6]
Facilities
[edit | edit source]uhaus includes a gym, private dining rooms, residents' lounges, co-working spaces, and rooftop terraces.[7]
The building includes a bar on the 35th floor, known as Lounge 35, which is described as Manchester's highest residents' bar.[8]
