PROJECT UPDATE: One Victoria

Great News! We’re making excellent progress on One Victoria in #Manchester for our client, One Heritage Group PLC.

The cast structural frame is now in place on blocks A and B up to the seventh storey, enabling the SFS (Steel Frame System) for the external make-up to begin, which is already completed up to level 2.

MEP (Mechanical, Electrical and Plant), including rainwater and downpipes, have progressed up to level 3, and we are also preparing the ground slabs. External frames and window glazing begin this week on level 1 block A.

Took some pictures today in town, mainly around New Cross, Red Bank, and Greengate, plus a few other areas of the city centre as I criss-crossed it. If I’ve got time I’ll post the pictures tonight. If not tomorrow afternoon.

Do you remember years ago jrb, they planted trees between the carriageways on London Road, near where the trams come out of the station? They looked really good, helped to soften the area, then they were removed shortly after. We need more trees.

I do! Perhaps it's something to do with the tree roots and the damaged they will cause as they grow outwards?

MCC began a city centre tree planting scheme man years ago, but that died a quiet death. There's still a few of those trees about on Princess Street.

TBF to the MCC, they've done a very good job with the trees in St Peter's Square. Similar trees have been planted in Albert quare.

Ten new, semi-mature trees will soon adorn Albert Square as work continues to enhance this much-loved Manchester public square and make it one of the finest civic spaces in Europe.

In phase one of the planting work, seven tulip trees (Liriodendron tulipifera), two Japanese maple trees, (Sophora Japonica) and one Foxglove tree (Paulownia tometosa) will be planted around the outer edges of the square over the next couple of weeks. (see image for tree location).
