That all? Another 100m would of been better

I love the density in that pic!

Just a shame they're all 5m tall.

Not even 100m, what a shocker, and a waste of an excellent site in the city.

At least Carrington won't be a waste of a site...

Agree adds to the blandness of that area but also the retail on the ground will be the usual Pie Face and s**t.

Practical, yes; outstanding and innovative, no.

love it for what it replaces, but at the same time it is a missed opportunity

Actually, the ground floor is housing a supermarket.

As for the height, in the current economy and with a fair amount of commercial space and residential coming online around the city, I think that it being a shorty isn't necessarily a bad thing. If this was a much larger tower (150 to 200m), could offering that extra space, in conjunction with similar developments, potentially impact on the business case for more impressive projects, say 111+222 for example? I don't know whether it would or wouldn't impact 111+222, but I'd know which I would prefer to see.
