@Pfarrey

Bravo!

Your feet must hurt after visiting almost all the building sites in London!

Thank you very much for sharing with us!

woah crane overload ...it all good

DarJoLe · January 31st, 2008, 12:02 AM

Starting to poke up over the buildings now...

tonkster · January 31st, 2008, 12:03 PM

wow, what a photo

elfabyanos · January 31st, 2008, 02:56 PM

Marvellous.

I remember when PP was at this height - it seems like only 20 minutes ago! And this lot are truly going for it too. I'm looking forward to this one now - kind of fell off my radar until recently. But I've now got to grips with where it is and what a nice little job it'll do of filling in some density of the cluster in a way that PP didn't due to it being a little removed from it.

yes, but that's gonna change as well for PP when Arrowhead Quai is finished just like the Churchill Place/North Collonade buildings help to integrate Barclays into the cluster

I can't see this one going up as quickly as PP, that really shot up during the spring/summer.

New render? Might be the old scheme, but I think it's the new one looking at the official site.

Newcastle Guy · February 3rd, 2008, 06:15 PM

A slightly different render to the night shot seen before:

An old render, but shows the same view as SELondoner's recent photo:

Also 28 visable floors out of 44? 16 floors hidden behind small building in foreground? No. I think not.

milkymilky · January 31st, 2008, 04:43 PM

Only 35 floors to go on the taller tower

SELondoner · February 2nd, 2008, 06:17 PM

It's embarrasing really putting my picture in the same thread as that beautiful shot above, but you can see the core has risen another floor in this view from Stave Hill today:

Tony Resta · February 2nd, 2008, 06:50 PM

Good to see progress

Mikey · February 2nd, 2008, 07:22 PM

DarJoLe · February 3rd, 2008, 06:51 PM

I wish facade overrun was mandatory.

tonkster · February 4th, 2008, 06:03 PM

I preferred the older designs! Sleeker and more interesting

Madman · February 5th, 2008, 02:13 AM

probably a lying render to through planning easier...

london lad · February 5th, 2008, 07:12 PM

Any renderings that form a planning doc particularly in the visual townscape assessment files have to be accurate & verified as they are legal planning documents. As far as differing renderings are concerned people shouldn't get to hung up over them. They are just renderings.Visual mock ups vary in quality & are produced by different people even for the same scheme. The new ones NG posted is a pretty poor rendering for a marketing website it doesn't have much correlation with previous ones which were produced by the previous developer . The only way you know what a building will look like for real is to wait until it is built.
