History

Planning

The planning application was submitted to Manchester City Council in April 2018 for two tall buildings, a 51-storey and a 21-storey tower subsequently named Elizabeth Tower and Victoria Residence respectively.[3] The towers form the first phase of developer Renaker's Crown Street development, consisting of a combined total of 664 apartments.[2] Elizabeth Tower contains 484 apartments.[4]

Planning approval was obtained in summer 2018.[5][3]

Construction

Construction of Elizabeth Tower commenced in 2018 and completed in 2022.[6] The smaller of the two towers, Victoria Residence, reached practical completion in November 2020.[7]

Facilities

Elizabeth Tower includes a gym, rooftop gardens, and a 20 m (66 ft) swimming pool located on the 44th floor. The swimming pool is one of the highest in Western Europe.[2][8]

In August 2022, NHS Property Services signed a lease on 8,000 sq ft (740 m2) across the ground and first floors for a medical centre at Elizabeth Tower.[4]
