Manchester 18-storey top-heavy tower approved

Developer Soller has got the planning thumbs up for a distinctive 18-storey tech office project in Manchester that incorporates several buildings at street level.
Designs by architect Howells for the NXQ scheme retain and restore 19th-century buildings on the site while respecting the neighbouring grade II-listed Daily Express Building.
The main tower will be cantilevered to allow the floorplate to widen as the building rises in height.NXQ will be accessed via a new publicly accessible courtyard
