St Michaels Development (Phase 2)
Construction Phase
Location
St Michael’s is a £400m landmark development that will see the transformation of an underused area at the heart of the city into a new world-class destination for work, rest and play.
Phase 2 of this iconic scheme will see the creation of a highly-anticipated 41-storey tower which has been designed by Owings & Merrill (SOM) and Hodder & Partners to set new city standards in quality, aesthetic and experience.
The tower comprises 217 W Residences Manchester offering buyers hotel-inspired living and the opportunity to purchase a permanent residence within Manchester’s most exclusive postcode.
These luxury residences will offer owners all the amenities and services of a W Hotel, including 24-hour concierge (W’s whenever/wherever service), round-the-clock in-residence dining, laundry and dry cleaning.
A 162-room W Hotel will also be located within No. 2 St Michael’s and is set to open Q1 2027. W Manchester will bring bold design, distinctive dining and always-on programming to the city as well as signature spaces including the Living Room, Pool, W Lounge, W Wellness and FIT fitness centre.
