They are motoring at this site now, they must be very serious about piling starting in a couple of weeks. I walked to Central station to go home last night and they'd done loads
It'll be interesting watching this and the Watkins Jones one go up at the same time to see which progresses more quickly.
The number 4 office piling seems to be progressing well, but I've noticed something that doesn't add up to what we think is happening with the number 5 plot. They have almost cleared that site as well, but on the newly painted hoardings around the number 3 and number 4 site there's two types of plans. One is an artists impression of the whole site from the sky showing how the number 3 and 4 buildings will look, with each numbered and named. On that picture there's nothing for the residential tower site. On another image there's a sort of site plan with number 5 being a 95,000 sq ft office and not a residential tower.
This has all gone up in the last few weeks, so have they changed their mind based on market demand for offices ? Or is it just shit marketing, which they are prone to...just look at the Capital Quarter and J R Smart websites.
