Fantastic footage. 👌 Great flight. Those sure are some impressive towers. ❤

🔹English Heritage object to Viadux2. Does this mean the end of viability for the 23 storey Affordable tower too? 🔹MMU object to Percy Brothers Hotspur Press scheme on the grounds that only 6% of properties are affordable. Surely 6% being better than 0.% and staying derelict for another 20 years. 🔹The Vision site in shot, on Whitworth Street West, despite having groundwork completed, in this iteration may not be arrive as alledgely it's in receivership.

how many floors will it be

brilliant as always

At last a British city getting a skyline other than London.

I remember the old Manchester it only seems five minutes ago, but it’s over forty years old, it really looks impressive but I can’t help thinking hoe high the rents are , will tenants struggle for everything else, will these be future slums, ?? Well it’s a quick profit for the capitalists, why can’t we build decent houses for families

Great footage and flying 👍 nicely captured 👌

Brilliant, what a great flight, smooth footage and great music too! Watched liked and subbed 👌👍

The Victoria North project will increase the size of the city by a third when completed.

Seem a bit stupid having two cities bordering each other. Maybe they need to join up in the future and create the 3rd biggest city behind Birmingham and London

@Jon L Drone Videos Where's this place?

That's some density developing on that once barren side of town. Great update as usual, thanks for doing and posting.

Fantastic drone scenery, indeed! the Dantzic street in Manchester is amazing; this ambience really impresses me. Thank you for sharing it with us to see.👍👍

SKYscreaper soon :):)😮😮😮😮😮

Subscribed, where is this?

Thank you again for your interest and wholesale coverage of development. 👏 You get very much a sense of scale from your film. Victoria North is probably the largest regeneration in Europe and a 25 year, approximately, project. If you take a look at Chetham's Hospital (Library) and the interior of the Cathedral you will see that it is sandstone of a peculiarly "purplish" colour. This is Collyhurst sandstone. In around 1421 the material was brought from the quarry down the river Irk that runs through the centre of your scene to be used. One of Mcr's oldest roads was Long Millgate.( Corporation Street was only built in the 1840's when Mcr was made a Corporation). Until then Long Millgate was the main thoroughfare from the old market place (Behind Marks & Spencer) along near where New Cathedral Street is now, past the rear of the Cathedral, alongside the entrance to Chetham's and alongside Victoria Stn (now disappearing under the New Victoria construction) to Ducie Bridge. I understand in your area, Red Bank the area on the left where the soil has been levelled permission has just been given to bid for Red Bank Plateau and another Red Bank area. Near the former railway line to Dean Lane. On the right near the former Ragged School on the site of the former gas works the Far East Consortium should be building some apartments. At Sandhills Metrolink are wanting to build a halt. Also! ▶️ Salboy & Domis revised Viaduct2 on Lower Mosley Street, next to Beetham Tower. The original 15-storey office block next to Viaduct1 was jettisoned. Working From Home is a game changer, offices aren't as attractive as they were formerly. Salboy & Domis came up with Viaduct2 a, b & c, including a 23 storey affordable tower built to a parallelogram shape to fit between Viaduct1 and the Beetham Tower, a 2 storey public realm construction and a 76-storey tower the largest residential tower in Europe. Viaduct2 has been in public consultation since the autumn. However last week the planning application was lodged with the council. This week in what could be a momentous week for Manchester architecture, the application will be heard. Jon, are you doing a 'special' 🤔. Challenge is on, between companies and between Salford and Manchester to provide signature buildings. 👷🚧 Ian Simpson the architect said when he started the city centre population was around 400 and he built pure apartments. Now the population is around 70k and rising North, generally with new graduates each year. In many towers there's gymnasia, cinemas etcetera, swimming-pools in some. At Viadux the swimming-pool is under the arches. As it stands, if they get the green light it's planned to award contracts Q3 2024 with construction commencing Q4 2024 with a 4 year envelope. Thank you once again for your interest and update. 🙂👍

👍👍👍

I hope they landscape that whole area those towers look strange in that area looks like a wasteland

Nice place to have a fly, a huge like from me.

Great video. Any idea on a finish date for those? They’re gonna have to tidy that river up a lot first.

Almost monochrome - a surreal grey apocalyptic Manchester great footage of our expanding city centre

amazing video - im getting confused now - not complaing at all - just to know better what i can do i was under impresion that we are not allowed to fly close to buildings or we can ?

Great update! 😎 🍻👍

Happy Saint George's Day! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🌹👍 Thanks for the update. 😄 As a collection they work, the Acer Tower and the stepped siblings. The green building next to the Acer Town is a new govt building with jobs moved from Whitehall. 🔹 Salboy building on Trinity Way, Salford the Obsidian, is ready to be constructed.

Nice👍

Great video mate. Town is looking better and better.

Hello! I am doing a student film project on the marina and would love to use some of your footage :) let me know if this is something you could help me with and would love to speak some mroe!

Why are high rised apartments being built so close to Strangeways? There is definite problems of abuse from these apts in the future with regards to items finding themselves into the grounds of Strangeways or movement information. I's amazing how the obvious can't be easily seen!

I love the fact that the big cities in the uk, are now starting to look like big cities 🏙️

👍👍👍

I hope that One Heritage does get built it will be the most unique looking tower built to date

Thanks mate.

Like 28 decolou. Legal ver as obras do alto.😊

👍👍👍

'promo sm'

Why is it taking so long for the floors to be built?

Thanks so much. With the Trinity Towers, St Michael's Tower are going to be Mcr lanmarks. St. Michael's synonymous with luxury. Phase 1 is coming to it's end. Two law firms apparently have signed leases and Chotte Matte given the roof top licence. Phase 2 including the tower will house a five star hotel and luxury apartments ranging from £300,000 to £6,000,000 each so should appeal to creatives and footballers etc. After converting Mcr's former Stock Exchange in Norfolk street to Stocks Hotel, this is Relentless's vision.

Wow!! Amazing place. Fantastic views and great shots. Very nice flight. Good work. Big thumbs up 👍👍👌Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱

This isn’t the next stage of Viadux - it’s the staycity hotel being built, nothing to do with Viadux

Hey Jon - Just to let you know, it's now illegal to fly within 400m of a Prison.

Strangeways, there you went.

Nicely captured 👌 👍 Great video

Thanks for the update!!!!! Once part of the Ducie estates who lived at Strangeways Hall and raised a lot of Scotch beef for the Mcr Market, brought in over Ducie Bridge. Waterhouse Gardens should really help this neglected area, commercially and aesthetically. Salboy/Domis are really into their stride. Waterhouse famously built the splendid Assize Courts. Bombed during the December '40 blitz they were repairable like the Free Trade Hall and lasted until the' 50's but lamentably dismantled. Glad to hear the link preserved with the new development. Students are the mainstay of much of the construction going on. 👷🚧. Here too. Please note their old site in St. John's is planned to accommodate the stunning Colloco building in azure blue! 😎 Much obliged for your interest! 👏

Great videos, keep them coming!

Great drone footage and amazing views. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍 Subbed and Liked. 👍👍👍

Great footage of our ever changing city..👍🏻

Thanks for the update! 🙂👍. All three towers have been started. They're not hanging about with this project. All to be clad in terracotta-colour as homage to the surrounding buildings. Really picking the weather helps the film and sunny clear weather picks out the warm brickwork and definition and depth-of-field. Classed as the Innovation Quarter the University and council want to push the boundaries of the city centre outwards. Kampus helped. A plum position for this neglected locale, next to Picc. Station and the Bull's Head pub and Star and Garter. You can see from your excellent coverage new life being spread into Piccadilly East with the Fairfax Towers under construction next to Victoria House and the Castings. Very much obliged. 👌 👷🚧

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮greetings from ancoats

Nice music makes for a relaxing flight, Thanks for doing and posting mate.
