A nice cluster if these get built.

Accura4Matalan · September 27th, 2005, 04:00 PM

Nice idea for a thread.
Maybe we should post all Quay's project update articles and construction piccies in here.

When do Colgate move out? That is a great bit of land they occcupy.

kids · September 27th, 2005, 06:22 PM

someones got to do a full render of these projects, caw, have you still got that picture from the top of langworthy road?

MANCHESTER building company Rok has started work on a major new office development at Trafford Park, close to Manchester United's Old Trafford Theatre of Dreams.

The £5.6m development, for Belfast firm Benmore Properties, is a four-storey office block with basement car park, due to be completed in May 2006.

SleepyOne · September 27th, 2005, 08:38 PM

The architects of Eire Basin are those well known purveyors of disappointing buildings, Broadway Malyan .

Good work - particularly the first image. Personally, the most exciting proposal of the lot for me are the Harbour City towers. There is something about the look of them both individually and as a group that I find really interesting. There is something of the CJC about them - not so much aesthetically but in the sort of feeling they evoke. Not sure why. Abito looks quality too.

WeasteDevil · September 28th, 2005, 01:54 AM

And Colgate?

Harbour City and Abito are interesting; for me, they kind of evoke a feeling of the 1970s gone mad.....

They look like they should be murky brown with lime-green plastic internal fittings, and suedette upholstery throughout as standard

dirtyred619 · September 28th, 2005, 03:27 PM

Colgate won'y be out till the end of next year at the earliest and its still not definite that they will be going or not.

Farsight · September 28th, 2005, 07:20 PM

I reckon Harbour City looks like something out of StingRay, kinda sixties and clunky. It doesn't look like it's going to have any wow factor 21st Century beauty and elegance.

kids · September 28th, 2005, 07:37 PM

/\ i agree, they just look awful from the sides

anyway

here's the quays on tuesday

cottonopolis · September 28th, 2005, 07:47 PM

I have to agree aswell. I think they look awful - total lack of sex appeal..

jrb · September 28th, 2005, 10:58 PM

Ok it's not the Quays, but Salford Reds proposed new stadium, along with plans for a 4* hotel, casino and retail development go before Salfords planning committee next week!

Good Luck!

Manc Guy · September 29th, 2005, 04:46 PM

Love clipper's quay...

Farsight · September 29th, 2005, 07:08 PM

IMHO that curvy 20-storey version is nice, but the flat 15-storey version is a bit ho hum humdrum.

Jongeman · September 29th, 2005, 07:12 PM

The curvy 20-storey version is fantastic. I'd like to see the Quays with a bit of proper height now.

(Edited....yet another typo)

SleepyOne · September 29th, 2005, 08:16 PM

The 20 storey Clippers Quay is yet another individual "landmark" building, shouting for attention at the quays. The shorter version looks modern, neat yet is an intelligent piece of urban design which will help knit the area together better. This is what the quays needs now. Better urban design rather than more shouty, showy buildings that contribute nothing to the experience on the ground.

Did we establish whether it is a case of either / or for these two proposals or are they separate?

caw123 · September 29th, 2005, 08:16 PM

Has anyone got any renders of those two bugdet Etap/Encore hotels to hand?

The shorter version looks like sixties flats down Ardwick way. IMHO it's dumb urban design, not "intelligent" urban design. If you don't want a landmark building you should be rooting for a shorter version of the curvy design.
