Those things by Renaker and OMI are absolutely awful

And just how will the Renaker PRS be built without further major disruption to Chester Road traffic and pedestrians. It is already congested on football and concert events. Again no consideration for those who already live and work here.

Fingers crossed the Castlefield eyesore gets refused

The Castlefield project looks like Lego.

@Stuart already congested by those who live there too. News flash Manchester is a city not a suburban village

good grief, what kind of design-hell is that Renaker/OMI scheme??! We can only pray it never gets funded & built

Manchester seriously needs to up its game. That Renaker building is worse than some of the garbage that was built in the 60s….which is now all being torn down. Ridiculous, sloppy, architecture.

Is this more Renaker jealousy? These buildings are fine – a nice change from the usual oblong we see elsewhere and actually in the real world should look really good and create a gateway statement into the city centre from the A56 from the South. Renaker are making a more positive contribution to central Manchester and Salford than any developer since Urban Splash and the quality of the buildings in improving dramatically as they progress.

Compare these to those appalling buildings by so called select property group on bridge street next to the lowry hotel – that’s the type of nonsense that shouldn’t be built.

Are the Renaker/OMI Castlefield apartment CGIs ‘white card’ renders? Or are they going for that look in reality?
The Quay bar should never have been demolished

While I’m sure you’re being sarcastic, to suggest quay bar looked better than these apartments would be quite brave!

“Towers” the most obvious Renaker shill. Their design is poor and will age horrifically, in 10 years it will look like a soviet era brutalist style mess.

The Renaker render makes it look terrible; hard to judge the real thing.
