After a pause for a few weeks at the 7th floor, more steelwork was going up this afternoon.

2 weeks, may have been a covid outbreak. Or just a delay at getting materials in.

Yea I can't remember exact details but remember reading that they were to start steelwork in such and such a month, and was surprised to see that they actually started a month earlier than that for whatever reason. So it may have just been them getting ahead of themselves on steel deliveries.

Steel rises on Belfast’s tallest office

Structural steelwork is quickly rising on what will be Belfast’s tallest commercial building when it completes next year. Known as City Quays 3, it is the fifth building in a much wider city centre…

I take it hotel doesn’t count as commercial? As it states it will be Belfast’s tallest commercial building.

 

[phillips01]

Mmm I would have said hotels do count.

But their hyperlink links to "multi story office buildings" which would be true.

Bedford square and city quays 3 must have had the same supplier or are really racing each other to get completed first.

It does, yet again the Harbour makes use of decent quality stuff.

Interesting to see the white tiles on the side of the building seem arranged more uniformly than the renders suggested. Should lead to a better appearance if that is maintained the whole way up.

Edit- some earlier renders had the uniform spacing so they must be using that design instead. Good.

Thanks for keeping us updated @hypnotoad24 !!
It does look very nice indeed, glazing is top notch.

Nice to see more progress, I think this building might exceed our expectations.

 

[Ollie-D]

It might be wishful thinking but I believe the Obel will be less of an eyesore if the City Quays waterfront can make a highrise cluster to compliment it. Especially if CQ4 takes place.

One side of the obel is an eyesore, the glass front I like. We need a tall building on the other side to cover that up.

Wondered if this might help a bit with the view from the new university if it ever went up. Would take more than just this though.
