Trinity Islands is a residentialskyscraper cluster under construction inManchester, England, consisting of four towers between 39 and 60 storeys split over two 2.2-acre (0.89 ha) sites: Building D1 at 183 metres (600 ft), Building D2 at 169 m (555 ft), Building C2 at 146 m (479 ft) and Building C1 at 119 m (390 ft).[2][3] The project was designed bySimpsonHaugh and comprises 1,950 apartments, with a total build cost of £535 million.[2][4] Whentopped out in 2025, Building D2, renamedVista River Gardens, became thesecond-tallest building in Greater Manchester, slightly surpassingBeetham Tower.
The project began when the original developerAllied London proposed five towers on the site, with the tallest – at 67 storeys – reaching a height of 213 m (699 ft).[5][6] If built, this tower would have overtakenDeansgate Square South Tower to be thetallest building in Greater Manchester, as well as thetallest building in the United Kingdom outside London. The scheme would have delivered around 1,390 homes, costing approximately £1.3 billion.[7] This development was approved byManchester City Council in July 2017.[8]
The site was subsequently sold to developerRenaker in 2018 for £13.4 million,[9] who redesigned the scheme[2] and lodged an application for four towers containing 1,950 apartments with Manchester City Council in December 2021.[10] Planning approval was obtained in February 2022.[11]
Construction of the first tower, Trinity Islands Building D2 (169 m (555 ft)), renamed Vista River Gardens,[12] commenced in 2022 and istopped out as of August 2025.[13] Construction of the second tower, Building D1 (183 m (600 ft)), also commenced in 2022 and is expected to complete in 2026.[14]
In November 2024, the Canadian real estate investment and asset management companyStarlight Investments bought Building D1 from Renaker.[1]
