No, it's just a matter of time. Things are still going on in the background.

Good news! I was getting worried. Every time I walk past the empty site my heart drops a little bit more... :lol:

Yes, it's great to hear that there is still hope fot this long awaited development of impressive height. 2018 completion is looking like a tall order (pardon the pun) :roll: mind you the empire state building was consructed in just over a year so there's a chance!

No, I don't seriously think it'll be finished by 2018 now that we've had this delay. The finish date will be set for the academic year that Watkin Jones wish to target. But until a deal is struck, regarding selling or leasing the finished building, the end date is arbitrary and we have just under 5 years to start (Planning requirement).

It's all very frustrating for everyone involved, but that's the way these sort of projects usually go.

Can they not see 'Dreary' ? I can't unsee it now you've mentioned it...

Ronald Mcdonald Houses provide free accomendation for parents of sick children when they are recieving treatment away from home. It may not be the best design but it's kinda hard to be anti it.

The dreary thing is funny though, can't been unseen!
