I tried googling but didn’t see any. I’m curious too. Was doing some grocery shopping in Blanch SC last night and at least 3 extra floors were added to the tallest lift shaft since I was there a couple of weeks ago. That makes it approximately 15 floors now (which I believe is how tall it will go based on the planning application) and is making a significant impact on the local skyline. I’m sure the view of it will be pretty impressive on completion – particularly when driving inbound on the N3 as the building is already on an elevated perch like the neighbouring Quinn Building. I’ll bring my camera with me on my next visit to Blanch and take a few snaps which I’ll post here for anyone interested.

Any sign o’ those pics??!! 🙂

meant to add – apologies for visual quality – bloody sun peeped out directly towards my only good vantage point as I was taking the pix so that is why they look quite shadowy!

paulh,

There is another tall glass fronted builging (the Quinn Direct HQ) just across from this one. Its about 12 stories high.

Anybody got a link to graphics of the finished hotel?

this thing isnt looking bad at all but it will all depend on the facade that goes on

If you click to download the pdf brochure for this project, you can see the first artist images of this hotel! And the plans for the expansion of the Centre itself! Looks pretty exciting! Including a big move for UCI across the road to a new building! And what looks like a pretty flashy new Blue Entrance!

thanks guys. it looks that bit taller than quinn direct. 🙂

Nothing impressive there.

Real suburban muck with a few extra floors tacked on
Doesnt look to be integrated with any residential streets,
massive car parks, huge (looking) walking distances

Maybe its a step in the right direction building slightly upwards, but unless office buildings
are mixed with apartment buildings or at least closer walking distance, then whats the point.
I hate the ‘tower in the park’ idea
and i hate car dependant buildings

Although im sure im not getting the full picture from that aerial
