101 Embankment is now looking pretty complete. Photos from various Manc forumers.








The new building sits at the gateway to one of the city's major peripheral regeneration districts, and as such it was advised that the scheme should provide an attractive ground floor street scene in order to knit the area in with the rest of the city.

The outcome of that is these retail units, as well as new paving and lighting underneath the railway viaducts.






Sainsburys have signed up to occupy some of the retail units.
