Work starts on Forshaw’s £64.2m Manchester tower
Summary
Enabling works have started on VIVERE Cornbrook, a £64.2m 24-storey mixed-use tower next to Cornbrook Metrolink station in Manchester. The scheme will deliver 237 apartments, an 88-bed hotel and resident amenities, with completion targeted for winter 2028 and Gateway 2 approval already secured.
Why it matters
The project is a significant city-centre residential development on a compact brownfield site, with implications for construction sequencing, safety oversight and delivery risk. Surveyors may also note its role within the wider Manchester Waters regeneration area and the scale of housing provision it adds to the local market.
