17 New Wakefield Street, Student dormitory skyscraper in Manchester, United Kingdom
The 109-meter-tall residential tower at 17 New Wakefield Street contains 525 bedrooms distributed across four stepped towers with 37 floors.
Construction of the building began in 2010 and reached completion in September 2012, following the approval of revised plans for a 106-meter residential tower.
The structure, designed by Manchester architect Stephen Hodder, demonstrates the evolution of urban student housing through its clustered architectural form.
The building provides student accommodation near Manchester city center, with direct access to transportation networks and educational facilities.
