I know there are taller developments going on in the city but for me this is definitely one of the best. If done properly it has the potential to rival Brindleyplace.

Very nice, I like that a lot. It slots in next to Moda perfectly

Broad Street is starting to get a nice little cluster and apparently there are a couple more towers to come in this area?

The departure was to the south so this was taken on my phone after a left turn and quite a bit higher than usual so excuse the quality.
