Cracking image. Just the density we need on these fringe sites around the city center. Be nice to see Dunbar and York Street public realm upgraded to complement the new developments.

Great photos, thanks for posting.

Also interesting to see how much empty space there is between Dunbar Link and the M3. If the warehouses between the 2 Patrick Streets were pulled down it would make for a great single site for a huge development.

The glass is more prominent on this than I thought it would be. Not complaining but will be nice to see the impact the brick makes, a good quality and looking build this.

Yeah, this is definitely the pick of the bunch in this cluster. A pity it isn't the one on the corner opposite the University, it's a far superior design to the buff coloured one going there instead.

Definitely turned out well but unfortunate the south-facing side will be blocked the building on the corner.

I like it.

Almost there now. They have planning permission for a section of the building on the site on the right of what has currently been built, where a lot of construction equipment was stored. I wonder if it will get underway shortly?

I was wondering about the extension part as I thought they would have built it all at the same time when they purchased the neighbouring site about a year or so ago. It must be more expensive to construct them separately as I think the plan is for them to link to the larger building rather than two separate buildings that look the same from the outside.

This is probably one of the best student blocks in the city, if not the entire Island. Really high quality finish and it looks excellent up close. Commercial units on the ground floor too!!

Just wish it was on the corner of Great Patrick St and York Street instead of this utter shite....

The extension for this, which i though was already approved, is recommended for approval at the planning committee this evening.

Such a strange extension and set of circumstances. Was the land owned by someone else but designed by the same architect as its bound to be a lot more expensive to build the extension than just build it all in one go.

The land was owned by someone else when the original block was designed and approved. I think they finalised the sale of the plot after construction had commenced.

An office block was proposed for the plot. I think it was approved but can't recall.
