UK’s Tallest Net-Zero ‘Aparthotel’ Given Approval for Construction in Manchester

2/9/24

Manchester will soon be home to the UK's tallest net-zero 'aparthotel' after planning permission was approved.

Based in Piccadilly in the centre of Manchester, the plans from Lamington Group feature several key elements, including a 34-storey net zero carbon tower, which will be the first of its kind in the UK.

Integrated into the tower's south-east elevation, on-site food production will provide fresh produce for the restaurant and bar, supporting local sourcing and reducing the carbon footprint.

The project will also include a green rooftop terrace, open to the public, offering views of Manchester's skyline and serving as a unique leisure space in the city's heart.

Additionally, a net zero lifestyle museum will be established, with an exhibition hall dedicated to educating visitors about environmental impacts, sustainability and green living.

Public spaces such as a ground-floor café, museum, rooftop restaurant, bar and the green rooftop terrace will be open to both aparthotel guests and the general public.

Construction is scheduled to begin in early 2025, with the development expected to open in late 2027.
