Plans for a new landmark skyscraper in Manchester city centre have been revealed.
The proposed 44-storey building, featuring 364 apartments, is set to be located next to Deansgate Train Station at Whitworth Street West, as reported by .
Subject to approval from Manchester City Council, this would be the latest addition to the growing number of skyscrapers in the city centre.
Daniel Roberts, Development Director at Glenbrook, expressed his excitement about the project: "As a Manchester-based developer, we are excited about the prospect of embarking on a landmark development in the heart of our city."
He further added, "The site at Whitworth Street West represents a highly sustainable location with close proximity to the cultural and leisure attractions that Manchester offers."
"Whitworth Street West is undergoing a period of revitalisation and Glenbrook are incredibly proud to be playing such an integral part in its future."

Tony O'Brien, partner at Sheppard Robson, also commented on the project: "The project is an opportunity to create high-quality homes that will sit comfortably in the context of Whitworth Street."
"Our ongoing designs open up the site to create a new piece of public realm at the heart of the development, helping animate the streetscape and enhance connections from the city back to Knott Mill and First Street."
"The building's expression draws upon the area's rich history and local palette of materials to further root the design within its context, tying the scheme back to the listed railway viaduct to the south and Deansgate Station to the west."
The plans follow approval from city council leaders in August for the tallest skyscraper outside London.
This structure, at 71 storeys and a grand height of 213 metres, is set to eclipse Manchester's current record-holder the Deansgate Square South Tower which stands at 201 metres.
Nevertheless, the new addition to Great Jackson Street will stand almost 100 metres shorter than The Shard in the capital, which holds the title as the º£½ÇÊÓƵ's tallest building.
Meanwhile, The Landmark Pinnacle in London's Tower Hamlets remains the nation's tallest residential skyscraper at 233 metres.
