Castle Park View will see a 26 storey apartment block, containing 375 homes, built on the site of the former ambulance station overlooking Castle Park.


Designed by architect Chapman Taylor, it is expected that completion will be in 2022 with Bouygues UK as the main contractor.


M&G Real Estate will own and manage 30 private rented apartments whilst Yarlington Housing Group will own 75 affordable homes.

Lots of activity and a piling rig on site when i was passing it the other week

Love it. Looking forward to seeing a crane go up for this one...!

Some fairly sturdy looking foundations are in place and a piling rig is still at work.

Walking past yesterday, I noticed that one of those large mobile cranes, of the type that is used to erect tower cranes, is on site.

A few shots from today, the crane has begun to go up

 

[geoffbradford]

I seem to have accidentally stalked Arch Wright on Saturday. According to one of the men on site, the crane will be 100m high when completed today (Sunday). At the end of the jib it will be capable of lifting 30 tons, although they don't think the maximum extension will be required, so the loads can be greater.

Accidentally? Yeah, we believe you Geoff.

What a beast!!

Tall buildings and the impact they have on low rise cities/towns is my main interest within architecture. Having seen the size of the crane I thought I'd create some images of what the building will look like on the city. I may come back and add more detail, but the scale, and height are 100% accurate.

Cheers, archie. Given us a handy glimpse 18 months into the future.

Assuming everything that has been proposed or approved gets completed (Soapworks, FR-Counterslip, Assembly, Redcliff Quarter etc). It'll be a such huge transformation of the city centre. Give it a bit more of a... 'rounded' urban presence... if that makes sense.

First of the service cores is now above ground and there are an awful lot of foundations.

By coincidence I took this slightly ropey picture through the car windscreen today.
Similar to Arch Wright's view down Old Market. That crane is huge.

Woah that core has flown up!!

 

[Arch Wright]

Not to flood the thread with photos, but the core is up to level 22, about 1 floor a day, not bad! 4 more to go.

Blimey that’s gone up quick!

Not the best pic but it shows how the tower compares to Castlemead
