Anyone have any idea when they're going to knock down staples in preparation for the Lighthouse? Staples arent giving any indication that they will be closing down any time soon?

BeestonLad · August 3rd, 2007, 06:46 PM

Is that some sort of running track on the roof of one of those buildings?!

danz013 · August 3rd, 2007, 06:52 PM

Yeaaaah lol...thats one of the features... the "integrated oak tree" and the roof top running track.

Drove past this last night and it turns out that the pool is on the ground floor facing the road.
It was all lit up inside and looked really nice.
The entrance and reception area was all lit up and the chandaleers were lit up in the same colours as the balconies.

That sounds fantastic... is the exterior of the building being lit up at night yet? This is definately a great project from LMP.

Stefan88 · August 13th, 2007, 08:03 PM

No not yet. There were a few lights on inside on the upper levels so whether people have already started to move in or workmen left the lights on I don't know.
It looked brilliant though.
Not sure I would want to swim with everyone been able to see me though.

weird..i'll try get some pics next time I pass

ranny fash · August 13th, 2007, 11:46 PM

how r they gonna get the oak tree up there?!

running track is a class idea, love that!

danz013 · August 13th, 2007, 11:51 PM

lift it I guess? Maybe a crane..who knows...anythings possible nowadays

Stefan88 · August 14th, 2007, 02:16 AM

It won't be a very big oak when they put it up there. It'll most likely be wrapped in netting and then lifted up by the crane.
That'll be a sight worth taking a picture of. A tree hanging in mid air from a crane isn't something you see everyday.

Litmus is officially complete... keys have been handed over to LMP.

Stefan88 · August 14th, 2007, 07:03 PM

Do you reckon Lace Market Properties would ever let anyone go inside on of their schemes and take some photos?

danz013 · August 14th, 2007, 07:31 PM

I got an email from them yesterday, the want the links to the forums to have a look around, i forgot to email them back... When I email them back i'm actually going to send them an email and see if they'll let me on site

danz013 · August 17th, 2007, 10:00 PM

Wow, the Litmus lit up sounds really nice, cant wait to drive past there at night. If you are looking for city centre 1-2 bed apartments, Nottingham really does spoil you for choice!

Does anyone know, I saw a small crane next to litmus, not sure if it was related to litmus or pictureworks. It was one of those cranes that goes on the back of a lorry...dont know if its still there.

danz013 · August 18th, 2007, 04:39 PM

I'm not sure...it could be something to do with the mosque at the back... by the way pharmj... pictureworks is on queens road along with summer leys...its Lighthouse here...

danz013 · August 19th, 2007, 04:57 PM

I took these two as I drove past litmus... I saw the fitness area and pool and all that stuff further up..the pics came out too dark though. I guess the area below is some kind of social area for the residents.
