Cranes cranes everywhere. The little metal fuckers are all over the place.

Coming into Piccadilly on the train yesterday I counted 24 cranes. So what's being built then?

Apartment`s they wont be able to sell. Just like last they built too many.



You could say the builders have farted and shit themselves.

Mostly flats and apartments but also a fair number of offices regenerating run down mills and dilapidated buildings. A lot are being sold to investors but some are going to local people. Imo the more people move into the city centre the better, they bring spending power and with it shops and restaurants.

Regenerating run down mils yet walk around spring gardens, king st, John Dalton St, deansgate etc, etc, etc for all the office space for rent and business space and shop/restaraunt space for rent, building new stuff while old stuff lies empty all for the vanity of looking like a modern upcoming city, while the majority is being left to rot o the surface

I Rerefer you to the cesspit thread.

Every road around our apartment block has a new building going up. All 'luxury' flats.

[Tuearts right boot]

It's a sure sign of investment and potential prosperity.

There are over 60 at the moment. Higher than the next two cities outside London combined and higher than pretty much any city in North America. The city has more inward investment, more inward migration, more residential builds and more commercial take-up than any other city in the UK outside London. It has the largest financial sector outside London. It has the largest media sector outside London. It has the largest sports sector outside London. The largest and fastest growing airport outside London. The third most popular arena in the entire world, if you excuse the short dip after the bombing.

Other UK cities simply can't compete.
