Sounds like a job for jrb Holmes?
Cant be bothered to look it up and didnt get a reference number.
I think you will all like it so worth digging in to it.

Sounds interesting Longy ,, looking forward to seeing this, i always thought that site should be developed on,,i hate these surface carpark's waste of bloody space.

I wonder, is the beacon thing gonna be preserved somewhere?

highriser · June 14th, 2006, 12:47 AM

KITR , the beacon is on the scabby carpark on the other side of the road .

The Longford · June 14th, 2006, 12:48 AM

You are getting confused our kid (my fault).
Its the open air car park not the multi storey.

highriser · June 17th, 2006, 07:08 PM

Demolition for that Margolis building is nearly completed , this should start very soon

highriser · June 23rd, 2006, 07:34 PM

In tonight's MEN

The Mackie Mayor buiding on Swan St is to become a 12m archive's office.

So the existing County Record office on Marshall St (next to Skyline Central) should be getting flattened soon

This has been on the radar for a while. Check out page 4 (20 posts per page) of this thread for further information and a conceptual rendering.

There's a steel frame recently gone up on a vacant site on Tib Street. Found 5 storey residential proposal by Oconnell East architects for the site on the planning portal. No images though.

highriser · June 26th, 2006, 09:28 PM

Soon to be demolished for that hotel on the Swan St , Shudehill junction .

£12m seems a lot of money for a record office??

Does anyone know if the existing Gtr Mcr county records office on Marshall street listed?

The Longford · June 28th, 2006, 06:29 PM

I dont think it is listed skymann but it is in (belive it or not) a conservation area.

Mez · June 29th, 2006, 01:29 PM

Which one is this Mackie Mayor building anyone ?? Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know who owns the Smithfield Market building?? That one is a beaut.

Mez ,, the Mackie Mayor building is next door to the green roofed building in this pic .

highriser · July 7th, 2006, 07:35 PM

The back of the Icon25 apartments.

Looking down the extension to High St

Allthe units at Icon25 are filling up ,, new funcky funiture shop

Making way for the hotel on Shudehill

rolybling · July 7th, 2006, 08:05 PM

nice one H, good to see things moving along round here. Doesn't Icon25 have space for retail all the way round the building at ground level? Im sure I read or heard that somewhere...should breathe new life in to the area no end.

jrb · July 7th, 2006, 08:18 PM

H, one of my fav picture spots as well.

Nice pics BTW.

SleepyOne · July 7th, 2006, 09:00 PM

Images of MBLC's proposal for the Church / Tib St car park can now be downloaded from the council's website. Seems to be an evolution of ICON 25 with the same smooth curves and similar colouration (dark blue teracotta rather than brick though). The twist however is that they propose to overclad the dark blue teracotta with a skin of moveable glass louvres as per Number 1 Deansgate to the Tib / Chrch St elevatinos only and which repect the curves of the building. Should be quite an impressive looking building and suitably individualistic for N/4.

Another point of interst is that they intend to create a "brown" (i.e. green) roof with all manner of planing on top there meaning surrouding apartment dwellers will have a rather pretty outlook rather than 'plant' of an altogether different nature.

do you have a link...?

The Longford · July 8th, 2006, 12:21 PM

I saw this at pre planning (see my post about ten ago) and didnt have a reference number for it. It must have been lodged now. My browser doesnt get on very well the planning portal so cant look it up.
Some devil in the detail but overall it is very good.

MBLC are now calling themselves MBLA as a point of interest.
