Good grief that is an eyesore!!!

It shocks me how much of the outer rim of the city centre is still so rundown after 15 odd years of boom.

Shocking really.

The wrappers were coming off Afflecks yesterday after the external works. You will be pleased to know that Bruntwood have not painted the building white. In fact the brickwork has scrubbed-up nicely.

The more pictures the merrier, so good work guys. I think it's actually been painted as somebody suggested in the Retail Thread y'day, but nonetheless looks fab all cleaned up. We just need something doing with that flippin' car park at the back sometime (please).

wow that is weird. no sure i like it tbh, think i preffered it all one colour!

Garibaldi773 · November 6th, 2010, 12:33 PM

Sorry I missed the picture in the retail thread - thanks for re-posting. I think that the building looks quite dignified in its nice new outfit and I had never really appreciated the architectural treatment of the upper levels and the roof before.

flange · November 6th, 2010, 12:52 PM

The Afflecks refurb should be complete and the scaffolding down within the next 3 weeks.

Image from http://www.afflecks.com/ taken earlier this week.

When the refurb of Afflecks is fully revealed the NCP car park will be a great viewing point to photograph Afflecks from.

Here is another photo of Afflecks, that I took the same day as my other image.

It looks like the front of an old department store in Paris.

jozblade · November 7th, 2010, 06:41 PM

I like it. It looks much better than it did before.

Wondered what was going on with this building for a while as it had plenty of scaffolding around it. Now the wraps are off the upper floors look good from the outside. They are still working on it by the looks of things, the ground floor isn't finished yet. Should be a nice addition to the area if they can fill it.

CDX · November 19th, 2010, 05:22 PM

Love it, good little gallery of images on the site,

http://theflatiron.co.uk/gallery#1

Needs some full shots of the outside, guess they're waiting for the refurb works to have finished.

Any sign of what this might be at Afflecks?

Proposed addition of metalwork sculpture to Tib Street facade

No docs ever went on for it, approved last month.

Manc Guy · November 19th, 2010, 10:21 PM

Wow its looking really good.

Just thinking, it would make a rather unique dining setting!

I think the ground floor is to be for for leisure/retail, so dining could well be an option!

Just been looking at this app,

Quote:

092519/REP/2010/C2
NCP Car Park, Junction Of Tib Street/Church Street

Extension of time limit for implementation of application ref no. 069870/FO/2003/C1. Erection of a 9 storey building (including ground) comprising 192 apartments on levels 1-8, use class A1, A2, A3, B1, D1 and D2 (retail, financial and professional services, restaurant, non residential institution and assembly and leisure) on ground floor with 2 levels of basement car parking

Decision was published last month, extended for 18 months from 18/08/10, so little over a year from now to commence. Are MCC getting tighter with extensions on long term unimplemented props?

Quote:

Consents for the development of this site have been in place for over 8 years and it is felt that the continuing failure to implement these consents is inhibiting the regeneration of and environmental improvements to this site which is an aim of policies contained within the Unitary Development Plan for Manchester

The section 106 has been staged, with 1/3 to be paid on commencement, 1/3 on occupation, 1/3 on occupation of the 100th apartment.

Looking back a couple of pages, this one was approved, sneaked through with a delegated decision, so didn't go to committee...
