Contour is a residential development under construction in the Castlefield area of Manchester, England. Once completed, it will comprise two 154-metre (505 ft), 51-storey skyscrapers[4] designed by SimpsonHaugh architects[3] as part of the Great Jackson Street masterplan, adjacent to the Deansgate Square skyscraper cluster.[5] Developed by Renaker, once completed they will be the joint seventh-tallest buildings in Greater Manchester.
History
Planning
The planning application was submitted by the developer Renaker 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]
Construction
As of March 2024, construction activities had commenced,[10] with an estimated completion date of 2026.[2]
The site of the two towers will also include 0.5 acres (0.20 ha) of public realm.[11]
