Student Castle Manchester is newly “built” student accommodation which is due to open this September. It will have 520 self contained studios and flats on 33 floors making it one of the top three tallest buildings in the city. It is on the corner of Great Marlborough Street and New Wakefield Street on a seemingly very small spot. In the foreground you can see the orange of New Medlock House, where I spent a couple of years living as a student at Manchester Met University.
