Also I saw on the Howard Holdings website that they plan to develop those sorry looking warehouses on Albert quay turning them into 11,150 sq.m of high spec office / retail accommodation.
Anybody have any more information on this scheme? Will they bulldoze the lot or are they planning to use some of the stone work?

Hopefully they’ll retain the stone work, it’ll add some ‘texture’ to otherwise bland glass ‘n’ cladding buildings. It will be interesting to see what goes up there, knowing how lovey-dovey Howard Holdings and OCP are, it’ll be a 15 story monolith, just to block all views from the Elysian! 🙂

At the moment, those buildings are being used to house huge pumps, presumably for water extraction from the OCP site?
