Trinity Islands is a residential skyscraper cluster under construction in Manchester, England, comprising four towers between 39 and 60 storeys, split across two sites: Trinity Heights at , Vista River Gardens at 169 m (555 ft), Building C2 at and Building C1 at . The project was designed by SimpsonHaugh and includes 1,950 apartments, with a total build cost of ã741 million. As of March 2026, Buildingsâ¯C1 andâ¯C2 have not yet commenced construction.
In January 2026, the 60âÂÂstorey Building D1 topped out and was officially named Trinity Heights, becoming the second-tallest building in Greater Manchester and overtaking both Vista River Gardens and Beetham Tower.
The project began when the original developer Allied London proposed five towers on the site, with the tallest â at 67 storeys â reaching a height of . If built, this tower would have overtaken Deansgate Square South Tower to be the tallest building in Greater Manchester, as well as the tallest building in the United Kingdom outside London. The scheme would have delivered around 1,390 homes, costing approximately ã1.3 billion. This development was approved by Manchester City Council in July 2017.
The site was subsequently sold to developer Renaker in 2018 for ã13.4 million, who redesigned the scheme and lodged an application for four towers containing 1,950 apartments with Manchester City Council in December 2021. Planning approval was obtained in February 2022.
Construction of the first tower, Trinity Islands Building D2 (169 m (555 ft)), renamed Vista River Gardens, began in 2022 and the building topped out in August 2025, with completion expected in 2026.
Construction of the second tower, Building D1 (), was also launched in 2022. The tower topped out in January 2026 and was officially named Trinity Heights, becoming the second-tallest building in Greater Manchester.
In November 2024, the Canadian real estate investment and asset management company Starlight Investments bought Vista River Gardens from Renaker.
