First we take Manc-hattan, then we take Berlin @DeansgateSquare

Deansgate Square is a skyscraper cluster on the southern edge of Manchester City Centre, consisting of four skyscrapers, the tallest of which is 201 metres. The site is just south of Deansgate railway station and north of the Mancunian Way, bounded by Old Deansgate, Pond Street, Owen Street and the River Medlock. Manchester City Council adopted a framework in the early 2000s, known as the Great Jackson Street Development Framework, which earmarked the site as an acceptable location for high-rise buildings. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deansgate_Square
