Unite Tower, also known as 1-5 Wakefield Street, is a student accommodation tower under construction in Manchester, England, due for completion in 2021. Building permission for the original proposal was granted by Manchester City Council in December 2017. Another two storeys were later added to the plan, raising the height from 30 to 32 storeys, and cladding was changed from grey metallic to anodised bronze aluminium panels.[1]
The tower is adjacent to the Liberty Heights building, another high rise student accommodation block.[2]
