Masshouse Block M | Chapel Street | 54.5m | 15 fl | Comp. - Page 6

SimonTheSoundMan · October 3rd, 2007, 08:09 PM

There was someone on site today, he was hitting the steel I bar with a hammer (in the middle, there were no bolts near where he was hitting). He was either bored, trying to look like he was doing something, retarded or trying to temper/forge the metal. I then looked at Curzon Gate and it was buzzing with builders. *sigh*

I went past yesterday morning and there were 6 (six!) men on top and they were pouring concrete.

I think a crane may have gone up at Masshouse. I'm not 100% on this as I saw it from a distance but looked to be in the vicinity of Masshouse. Can anyone else confirm this???

SimonTheSoundMan · October 6th, 2007, 12:52 PM

No crane up Friday afternoon, actually, there was no activity on block M on Friday. Fitzgerald were on site building a drop off area by the side of the first phase all week though.

I'm not gunna bother emailing them. I just get a load of old marketting trollop from this bunch. This is a very odd way of building it though.

Ok, phase one is still not complete. Quite a few of the apartments have missing kitchens, bathrooms and some are still at first fix stage. Phase two has had the first three floors of steel rise since mid-August.

I'm hearing rumours that the other resi block (yet to be built) may be an hotel

Erebus555 · October 6th, 2007, 04:30 PM

I'm sure I heard something like that. It may have been a different project though... Oh I can't remember.

Telfordboy · October 6th, 2007, 06:42 PM

I heard it may be a hotel but it may be flats but it will deffo be one or t'other not both.

NeilM · October 7th, 2007, 12:00 AM

Hotel or Resi, it still wont be finished before 2025.

feltip · October 7th, 2007, 12:04 AM

Looks nice there.

fruit&nut · October 7th, 2007, 08:49 PM

I'll look forward to admiring it when I'm 90!

Compare this to SnowHill which was busy yesterday on a Saturday!!

NeilM · October 9th, 2007, 01:30 AM

Well a quarter section of two new floors has been put up today, with a yellow crane in attendance, wonder how many weeks we will have to wait for floors 5 and 6 once 3 and 4 are done this week, lol.

SimonTheSoundMan · October 9th, 2007, 12:50 PM

Looks like a quarter section of 1 floor outside my window today. Meanwhile, top floors of Curzon Gate are having their cladding and windows installed today.

feltip · October 16th, 2007, 02:37 AM

A pic from Sunday.

mk61 · October 16th, 2007, 03:41 AM

Makes me wonder what the proposed construction schedule is on this.

Edit: in hindsight, why did I bother posting this?

Biosonic · October 16th, 2007, 09:39 AM

I think I saw a crane operating there yesterday - it was tall so the steelwork could be going up again
