I had assumed the crown would be a continuation of the concrete structure, guess it will be cladding overrunning instead. Also quite eager to see how the fully glazed top floors will look.

Maybe a lighter weight steel structure added to the top?

I had planned to do a full update later this week, that is looking unlikely now, though I did have a quick detour in the centre today... down Old Market of course...

Well, guess I wont be able to get into the centre later this week... Unless exercise within local area means walking for a few miles, taking photos and walking back?

True, but the building will still be growing as construction staff are exempt, so just imagine what it will look like when you return lol !!

Good point, my view will be limited to Stoke Park haha

Looks like the start of the crown?

I hope one day they get rid of most of the street clutter on Old Market. Just messy looking and (mostly) un-necessary.

Update , it’s not . Just looks like it from old market. Gives a good sense of the height though

Tbf, it's not even that particular photo though. Doesn't help that the pavement gets a bit too narrow at times. Not great for the wheelchair.

I'm liking the cladding better than I thought I would. It has a sort of a quirky retro feel to it.

That was extremely satisfying to watch!!

... it was satisfying... till the end... repost in a few months 😂
Seriously though, it was fascinating seeing the impact of the lockdown, and how progress slowly ramped back up when construction was allowed to continue.

Also great to partially see Assembly going up, but can’t wait to see Castle park views crowning glory.

Great to have a modern tall in Bristol other than the plastic fantastic Harvey Nichols tower, looks excellent to me.

No sign of the crown yet, suspect they are waiting for the cladding to rise

No, won’t be added as it’s supported by the lower cladding, but only 3 storeys or so to go now !
