The planning application was submitted to Manchester City Council in November 2021 for two 51-storey residential buildings across two phases.[6] The towers will contain a combined total of 988 apartments[5] and each building will have co-working space, a gym and lounges.[7] Planning approval for the towers was obtained in March 2022.[8][9]
