Qube | Middlehaven, Middlesbrough | 40m | 9fl |Preparation

bobalania · October 17th, 2009, 12:52 AM

This is the second Cube to be built at the RiversideOne development at Middlehaven Middlesbrough. This Project should begin soon if all goes well, but we still wait on news of a start date.

Construction and site photos will be posted as soon as possible below.....

Any chance of a thread/summary on RiversideOne? I have seen bits and bobs, but not a summary of the whole thing. Its gonna be big right?

bobalania · October 17th, 2009, 02:38 PM

Yes, sure, i was going to do one for Middlehaven Phase 1, which is the two cubes, ciac and krusty and also public realm works. I'll also do a thread for riverside one, with all the other phases in. I'll try and get that done asap.

Hopefully as the economy picks up, this will start as soon as possible. If it does happen as planned, then Middlesbrough will be well on the up, and may get some good media attention for a change!

Construction could start this year if funding is secured, looks promising.

This building has been renamed to Qube. Much better than Krusty in my opinion.

I think the name Krusty would have put a lot of people off the building ,unless you were Spongebob Squarepants of course

bobalania · August 7th, 2010, 11:15 AM

Where has this been annouced of the name change?

forsakenarchitecture · August 7th, 2010, 11:31 AM

''So, where do you live?''
''I live in Krusty''
''Eww''

The name change is shown on the official website.

forsakenarchitecture · August 7th, 2010, 11:34 AM

The model of Qube in the marketing suite. Once again, apologies for the reflections of the glass boxes they're in.

bobalania · August 7th, 2010, 01:28 PM

On what official website? this one: http://riverside-one.com/

Has there been news on construction of the Qube or something? Think the area around the Qube looks as if it will be a high standard and will look very smart!!!

lms · August 7th, 2010, 10:57 PM

The two buildings look like they are going to built to a high standard looking at the models

Yes, that's the one. You can see it on the masterplan.

bobalania · August 10th, 2010, 08:26 PM

But hasn't it said that all along? I thought they must have issed a press release with the launch of the new name or something???

forsakenarchitecture · August 11th, 2010, 12:37 AM

Oh, I've always known it as Krusty until the marketing staff informed me otherwise. If all goes to plan, this building should begin construction in less than 13 months.

bobalania · August 11th, 2010, 11:12 AM

Lets hope so! According to a pdf i found on MBC planning website that showed in order each phase of the Riversideone development (which was quite interesting) the entertainment building to the left of CIAC, i think sugar cube 5 is meant to be built before The Qube.

I'd love to see the Sugar Cube next to The Qube be built, the kapalunk one i think, this one looks the best!

No-one knows why.

bobalania · April 15th, 2011, 09:31 PM

I wouldn't take that as gospel though, it may start sooner, at that time or even not at all!!!

Vinboro · October 15th, 2011, 11:03 PM

Any news on this development. Any new development?

bobalania · October 18th, 2011, 09:08 PM

Its been mentioned that this will start once CIAC is finished, i don't see the logic behind that, but fingers crossed, as that would mean within the coming months!

Handsome C · October 20th, 2011, 08:48 PM

That's what I heard, too.

The only reasons I can think of are that it lessens disruption or that the land beneath it is reclaimed and they have to be careful. The dock was originally much bigger and I heard the land they're building on is from the bottom of the Tees.

On the council's planning application site, there's much reference to Sugar Cube 6. If you look at the original plans on Bioregional-Quintain's website, there are 8 cubes and 'Qube' is the sixth one from the far right. It suggests this is the sixth and should start soon.
