Report - Garden Street, Sheff Jan 2019

[tallginge]

Climbed (the stairs) to the top of this the other night, when I couldn’t sleep.

The Hollis Croft Road project in the city will consist of nearly 1,000 beds, costing around £63m to build.
Designed by Sheffield-based architect HLM the proposed student complex will involve construction of around 400,000 sq ft.
Harrow-based 4D Structures is understood to be in line for the groundworks and frame contract.
The scheme will also include commercial space and a new pedestrian link along the western edge of the site connecting Garden Street through to St Vincent’s Church.
An 18-storey tower will become a new landmark in a part of the city designated for tall building development.
There will be 251 self-contained studio apartments in the tower, which will enjoy views over the city and the Peak District beyond.
This morning the firm also revealed it had forward sold a development of 354 beds on Little Patrick Street in Belfast to the same institutional investor.
Both developments are due for completion for the summer of 2019. The agreements mean Watkin Jones has now forward sold 1,981 of the 3,545 beds planned to be delivered ahead of the 2019/2020 academic year.
Mark Watkin Jones, chief executive officer of Watkin Jones, said: “We’re trying really, really hard to make as much money as possible by building a great big tower block for students to live in. We really are tha’ noz.” Asked whether he knew if someone had been up there in the small hours he replied “Well I’ll go to th’ foot of our stairs. Well so long as they don’t go dangling off the cunt or spunk it all over Instagram so we have to spend all our moneys on secca it’ll be alright I suppose. Can’t have our investors being poor can we now?”

Just as well I behaved myself. Pics looking east, then clockwise​

Climbed back down (the stairs) and went creeping about under Lady’s Bridge til sunrise​

Fabulous pictures. Looks much better at night than the day, although that applies to most cities.
