King Edward Tower | Leeds Street | 199m/67 Floors | Proposed - Page 3

Yapachoo · January 15th, 2006, 09:28 PM

Very exciting! I was going to enquire whether the horrible bit behind the glass mirror building and near St. Paul's Sq. was heading for refurb but this will do fine. I can't think of a more appropriate place for Liverpool's tallest.

I wonder how long until a planning application? If they've already developed renderings then it can't be too far down the pipeline.

With the new CL development roughly below it, it will look wicked from the waterfront.

Someone should email about time frames for this proposal.

So, do you think this is still about 50 storeys tall? The positioning has only just clicked with me! From what I can tell the tower not much further forward than Beetham so river views should be conserved. When I first saw the second picture I though it was infront of Beetham!

Gareth · January 16th, 2006, 02:03 AM

Well it looks bigger than Beetham Tower on that image, though they suggest it's upto a mere 20 floors. It looks more like 35 on the image but we can but guess. The council will fight a 50 storey tower to the bitter end, tall building zone or no tall building zone. That I can guarantee.

Well let's all keep our fingers crossed.

westisbest · January 16th, 2006, 08:05 AM

it has to be about 45 flooors, it is bigger than BW

Toadboy · January 16th, 2006, 10:57 AM

Looking good, let's see it progress. That site is critical and strategic in tying Princes Dock, Waterloo Warehouse and eventually Central Docks into downtown, the scale and mass has to be sufficient to enable this. The render certainly appears to allow for this.

I give up checking this site long ago well in Liverdude,what a great place for our tallest that'll be,let's hope we hear some more soon eh.

Craigie_Mann · January 16th, 2006, 11:52 PM

If that gets approved when/if a application is put in and gets approved i'm up for a good bender.

Craigie_Mann · January 16th, 2006, 11:53 PM

That being drink of course

richie1878 · January 17th, 2006, 12:36 AM

Looks good, but would like to see more renders of the development. Hope this bastard materialises. Looking at what seems to be the rear of the tower from the north, to me it looks a bit like Beetham 1, which is a bad thing. The whole building from all 360 degress should look spectacular.

jets9 · January 17th, 2006, 03:31 AM

The building in the left hand pic seems to be a lot taller than the one on the right, so suppose that's the illustration for the proposal with more apartments. Confused about the structure in the foreground before the new tower in the left hand pic. Is that part of it and what's it for? Also whats happened to City Lofts on the right hand pic? Have they decided to airbrush it out?

Pobbie · January 17th, 2006, 04:13 AM

Nice pictures. Hopefully we'll hear more about this pretty soon...

When news of this first broke from rumour control, 48 stories was mentioned.

If this proposal gets accepted, the whole region north of the Liver Building will look awesome.

Liverdude · January 19th, 2006, 01:43 AM

I want to see a skyline view, with West Tower and Alexandra Tower! Like other people have said I hope it isn't a long wait for more info, maybe the update of the page means something will be happening soon!
