[1][2] The project was designed by SimpsonHaugh and comprises 1,950 apartments, with a total build cost of £535 million.

The project began when the original developer Allied London proposed five towers on the site, with the tallest – at 67 storeys – reaching a height of 213 m (699 ft).

[4][5] 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.

[7] The site was subsequently sold to developer Renaker in 2018 for £13.4 million,[8] who redesigned the scheme[1] and lodged an application for four towers containing 1,950 apartments with Manchester City Council in December 2021.

[10] Construction of the first tower, Trinity Islands Building D2 (169 m (554 ft)), renamed Vista River Gardens,[11] commenced in 2022.
