Things that never got built

I thought it might be fun to have a thread on projects that have been proposed over the years but never came to fruition.

First up, the 'mini Manhattan' at the ISV





Who can forget the 'glass needle'?





Some of the entrants in the Opera House competition

Alternative Stadium plans.

Alternative Bay Point.

Its the latter Bay Pointe that was "Mini Manhattan". The first rounded towers plan was more Dubai-esqe. I actually quite liked the latter plan, I must say.

Still not clear to me how the Cardiff Pointe scheme is doing. It seems to be progressing rather slowly which I think is indicative of the fact that they still don't have their pricing right. I think some people are going to get hit hard when they try selling on.

Off the top of my head:

The 25 storey rower in the capitol centre
The adam street development
Glass needle in various forms
Bay pointe
Redevelopment of the building next to custom house penarth
Swansea

Jury's Inn, Park Street.

Capital Apartments.

Swansea

Another Opera House





An early vision for Central Square

Merchant's Place. It's a shame about this scheme, as it was an mixed use that would have seen some quite nice historic buildings being brought back to life.

I know they were weather-proofed a few years ago but the interiors of both the old Post Office and the Cory building must be deteriorating pretty badly. I suspect that only the facades will be saved when and if anything happens on the site. Wasn't there some talk of a hotel on part of the site?
