River Street Tower, High-rise building in Manchester, England
River Street Tower reaches 92 meters in height with 42 floors of glass and steel construction overlooking the Manchester city center skyline.
The building site transformed from an abandoned concrete car park frame that stood incomplete from 2005 to 2018 before construction began on the current tower.
The tower houses 793 students from Manchester universities, creating a vertical community that reflects the city's strong educational foundation.
Located near the Mancunian Way, the building includes study zones, a gym, games area, media room, cinema, and private dining facilities for residents.
The tower's completion in 2020 marked the end of a 15-year development struggle, turning a derelict site into Manchester's joint 22nd tallest building.
