I'd say we're somewhat off seeing the warehouse completed. Work has only really started on that. They'll likely need to support the warehouse before the excavation and piling works begin on the taller element.

Confirmed that Deloitte are moving to Bedford Square, staff to be in by 2021.

As I predicted..... #nostradamus

Good to hear though, that means their current office on Bedford Street could be knocked and replaced with something better. Great boost for this project as well as the city centre given the jobs expansion that Deloitte plans.

Great for potential job creation and great piece of density for the city centre.

edit - was up the top of Grand Central just after xmas and made a point to check out the site. Didn't look like there was much of anything done other than the scaffolding already up around Ewarts, but hopefully site will break ground at full speed now.

that means their current office on Bedford Street could be knocked and replaced with something better.

Another opportunity for Mediocre and Rush to bless us with their awe-inspiring design ideas.

Peeked out one of the windows @ the Perch this evening and a large trench has been dug around about 2/3 of the site perimeter. Possibly for piling? Big changes on site from last month already.

The trench Conor was referring to.

Such a disappointing project. Real chance to build something tall and imposing, with the Grand Central beside it. Bedford Street could be have been the 'high rise street' in the city. Instead we have a forgettable glass box. You could forgive the average design slightly if it it was tall, but it is neither. The sooner McAleer and Guff leave Belfast and go back to building their cheap hotels in Wembley and Stansted, the better.

Very nice. Time for some 100 metre buildings!

 

[Boba Fett22]

Is the 72 metre height definite?

The lovely old warehouse building at the front would be great for a Brewdog.
