A decision will be made this week on plans to build one of the 海角视频's tallest skyscrapers in Salford, part of a £1bn project proposed by Henley Investment Management (HIM).
The planning application for 3,300 new homes is based on land at Regent Retail Park, located off Regent Road and close to Manchester city centre.
Plans for the site could see ten new towers built, the tallest up to 78-stories tall according to concept drawings, as well as dedicated open space and a public park within the scheme.

It has faced criticism from councillors in Ordsall and Salford's MP Rebecca Long-Bailey, who argued the shops at the retail park are a vital park of the local community, and stressed the need for more affordable housing in the city.
Thousands of people have signed petitions against the plans.
Councillors on Salford's planning committee voted to defer the application in July in light of concerns about affordable housing and traffic.
HIM has submitted new information to try and get the plans over the line when they are put back in front of councillors this week on November 6 during a meeting at Salford Civic Centre.
It previously said that the existing shops based at the retail park have been invited back to the new development.

The developer has also made a commitment to reserving 660 homes for 'social rent or another form approved by the city council' through a lease agreement with the town hall.
New traffic modelling has been submitted, showing a 'modest increase' in traffic during morning rush hour, but it added that overall 'the proposal is considered to generate 5,333 trips less than the site's current use' over a 24-hour period.
Healthcare services could be set up within the site, with the NHS to be offered 'first refusal' on floorspace to meet any 'evidenced needs' in the area.
The planning report added: 'The NHS has specified the required floorspace, which the applicant has confirmed can be fully accommodated on-site.'
Salford council officers noted in the report that the lease agreement would 'provide the mechanism to secure the affordable housing offer', and that 3,300 new homes 'would not result in a severe impact on the highway network'.
Earlier this year, bosses from HIM told the Local Democracy Reporting Service that the development could be the biggest affordable housing scheme in Salford for decades if approved.
Hattie Charlier-Poole, senior development manager at HIM, said: "It has never been our intention that this scheme is towers with a coffee shop at the bottom, it has always been the case that we were going to re-provide the existing services, and enhance and improve them and add more.
"The site will continue to function as a local centre, but in a much more sustainable way so that it's got longevity to serve the community not only now but also into the future as well as house a lot more people."
