London took the top position on Arcadis’ 2024 International Construction Costs Report, while the North West city claimed the 12th spot.
Manchester’s ranking saw the city go up three ranks from the year before, where it had been the 15th most-expensive city to build in.

Defo looks better as a two tier for the home end.

15th to 12th, in the global list. But 3rd in the UK according to that. Is it really that surprising.

When the South Stand was extended they added an additional small block of seats to the East and West. Is this not happening with the new North Stand? It will play havoc with my OCD is the two biggest stands are slightly lopsided.
Wait till you notice that the two giant screens at the front are not the exact same size!

Nice, you can see the first bit of steelwork for the base of the Skybar and the 5 elevated rows of seats in front of it. I love this stage as things look like they're absolutely flying along.
Edit: or is that for the suites underneath the Skybar?

Edit:
That's from the planning application in case it wasn't clear.

Do you mean the tall cores that have gone up? They're for the stairways and lifts, I think it's for fire proofing exits in case of emergency.

Looking at it last night and was really confused by the existing support and and cables. How do they manage the moving or re-jigging of it?

There's new support steelwork going on top with cables to hold up the cable net system, the old, big angled supports then gets taken out. Search for @Coatigan recent posts on here as he's covered it very well.
Part of it, but not quite the same bit, that is further along and the bit that looks cantilevered currently is still going to come down to ground eventually.
The overhanging sky bar is a few bays along. I'll highlight on a section a bit later on.

The whole hotel wing is, I'm fairly convinced, going to be built in-situ concrete. The cores are a part of that.
The scale is deceptive, i've heard people call it 'the lift shaft', but that core actually contains 6 lift shafts, and 1 of 2 staircases, the other will attach to it. The smaller core you see rising is a lift a stair and a riser, and the one to the side which is still at pit level will be 2 lifts and a stair.
