WORK has started on the £77m Angelgate residential development on Dantzic Street - not far from the Co-op's £800m NOMA project by Victoria Station.

We only wish BLOK's design matched the beauty and finesse of the Anglegate's promotional video

Developer Pinnacle MC plans to build 434 one and two-bed apartments across two nineteen storey twin-towers on the former-car park site - up from the original 344 units over fourteen storeys planned for the development - see the planning docs here.

The complex will include a two-level gym and fitness suite, landscaped roof gardens, car parking, retail units and two electric vehicles for the use of residents (we like that last bit).

Warrington-based PHD1 Construction were announced as the project's development partner in September 2014.

BLOK Architecture - who are also working on Pinnacle's £90m Pall Mall scheme in Liverpool - designed the remarkably grey scheme.

We only wish BLOK's design matched the beauty and finesse of the Anglegate's promotional video - which is top notch... 

Pinnacle say:

"In the last decade Manchester has regenerated itself, and continues to do so, to maintain its status as a major European City. Angelgate will be a part of this renewal process. Angelgate is an off plan, new build development, which will ensure a sustainable and energy efficient building that will remain environmentally friendly for years to come.

"Designed for today’s discerning resident, Angelgate will provide outstanding features and unique facilities. With fully-fitted kitchens and high-end finishing touches, the sophisticated approach taken to design these apartments all combines together to make Angelgate a destination unrivalled anywhere else in the city."

'Unrivalled'? We're not sure about that... but it is only five minutes walk to the Marble Arch boozer.
