St Michael’s releases images of redesigned city tower

Details of Hodder + Partners’ design for the 39-storey tower set to be built as part of the St Michael’s development in Manchester city centre have been revealed as part of a public consultation event taking place today.

The 31-storey tower has a lozenge-like footprint and sits on top of a podium, making it 39 storeys in total. Crucial to the design is keeping the structural core in the building’s centre, which according to architect Stephen Hodder ensures it is outward-facing from all angles.

“A tower should never turn its back on a city”, he said. Due to its shape, he also described the building as having “a blade-like profile”, narrowing to nine metres at its thinnest.
