Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

[Fat Chance]

Was'nt it said on here when the remedial (is that the reet word?) work was completed on the collar site..that the ground although being above old mine shafts could stand 40 storey biuldings.

I don't see the point in building a skyscraper there. There's plenty of ground space to build a good size hotel of high quality without needing to go up and up and up. I can't see the owners plowing money into one in that location, there's not currently enough around there for the views to be noteworthy.

My back garden !

I cant remember what the exact number was but I posted something ages ago that was to expect the tallest building to be 15 storeys or thereabouts.

Think the maximum height of a building which could be built on the site of the ex-mine was between 30 and 35 stories. Of course that could have been pure quess work at the time.

let's hope they don't get Ian Simpson designing it like MCC seem to do with everything, his work is bland and as dull as dishwater.

Agreed. Beetham tower is horrendous. bland and uninspiring.

+1. And it looks like half the windows were blown out in a bomb and they couldn't find the same colour glass to replace them with.

Agree with you both.
