Part of the hotel will have great views of the City centre skyline

Won’t the office block ,”block “the majority of the views of the city centre?? So only the 8th floor on one side only see the city skyline ??

Possibly, depends what the angle is

Will Sheikh Mansour have the penthouse?

I find it amazing how they can perfectly match up the old terracing to the new terracing. One thing that I have noticed at the beginning of the video is there does seem to be a slight difference in height but I think it’s intentional. Spurs’ one tier stand also has a sort of small step up divider in the lower/middle area.

I thought that but it doesn’t look like it’s on the drawings.

I was thinking about this back when the PA came out.

What point do they take as the topping out in this one?

Or do they have one for the hotel, one for the museum/office block and one for the stand.

Think but not too sure but each building when they finish the height they have going to have one.

Having had a hotel room in the Hotel in the main stand of MK Don's stadium - I really did have the 'if Carlsberg did Hotel Rooms' moment - I could see the pitch through the patio doors that opened to the back row of the stand - not ideal parading around the room exposing your gentlemen's sausage mind!

or your bush?

It will be sad If Colin misses the lift of the truss !!

More than likely I will miss it, some insider info of when it’s being lifted would be handy

Roberto Mancini, part of his off the books pay out, the 115 suite brought to you by Abu Dhabi.

Don't think it will be that quick an excersise. They will need to connect all the junctions, align and test, then remove the props. A couple large mobile cranes will appear on site beforehand. The rate they are have been going with the towers, looks like at least a week if not two away from connecting it, assuming the truss is built at the same time.

Khaldoon is at most matches, not sure where he stays maybe the CFA for security guess he would be using the penthouse other CFG board members as well

Maybe it is me, but I'm not seeing the step or change in height that has been mentioned.

The way I see that, it is just the angle combined the gap yet to be bridged, where the seats have been taken out to put the roof props up and connect the two later. Unless we are talking about different parts.

The tier should all line through, in the end, once all filled back in and connected.

On the below, relative to the latest video.
Orange, has been removed/will be removed. Green, staying as is. Pink, built so far (when the tower fully connects which isn't far). Purple, connecting bits being built just now. Blue, yet to come.




The seats highlighted in orange were existing but have been removed and will be reinstated once the roof is away. But all the blue is new, which shows just how much of an increase that is, to what is there. 'Massive'.
