    I really like this I'd love the Waterfront to continue as far as Otterspool with unusual classy buildings like this I hope it gets approved.

    Anything is better than whats there at the moment. The Vermont Tower opposite should compliment the area quite well.

    I know the potential for the Baltic Triangle area is unbelievable so let's hope these projects get approved and give us a bit of balance with our skyline,the south end at the moment is sadly lacking but I've a feeling that's about to change.

    ALMOST 200 building workers have been laid off after work stopped again at a £50m luxury flats scheme in Liverpool.

    Construction group Laing O'Rourke said it suspended building work at the L1 development on the Baltic Triangle after talks with its client, Liverpool based Windsor Developments.

    Negotiations between the two companies took place in London on Wednesday and will resume again today, but both sides declined to comment on reasons for the latest suspension, which follows another hold-up in June when builders were withdrawn from the job.

    A Laing O'Rourke spokesman would only say: "Laing O'Rourke can confirm that on Monday, July 31, after discussions with its client, it suspended work on the L1 project in Liverpool."

    A Windsor statement added: "We are in detailed discussions with Laing O'Rourke regarding the next phase."

    But builders at the site told the ECHO, during their mid-morning break, that 40 staff were laid off a fortnight ago, 50 went last week and 100 more will be laid off this week.

    "We're just stripping out the job now before we leave," said one, who asked not to be named.

    Laing O'Rourke said they try to find alternative work for staff in such situations: "Some of the workers have moved off-site.

    Laing O'Rourke always investigates opportunities to relocate staff to other projects and this process is underway," the spokesman said.

    The L1 project comprises three blocks of luxury apartments. The first phase is worth £50m and the second phase is valued at £270m.

    In early June, Laing O'Rourke with-drew 60 staff from the L1 scheme while Windsor held talks with its bankers about a "wider funding package" for the project as a whole.

    L1 is completely separate to the £920m Liverpool One scheme by Grosvenor on nearby Paradise Street.

    Sorry but those Artist's impressions don't do the Queens Dock tower any justice. Hopefully the building will be more pleasing to look at in the flesh!

    But it's great to see some development comming further down the Dock Road, I know that the Marina and everything is down here but hopefully the skyline will have more to boast about rather than the gasometer from Bread!

    Both the Heaps Rice mill and Queens Dock Tower developments were approved by council yesterday.

    The tower will be visible to traffic heading down Upper Parliament Street towards the river front, and will form one of what is expected to be a cluster of tall buildings with an even bigger scheme planned for the site opposite on the former Norton scrap yard at the junction of Parliament Street and Sefton Street.

    The committee unanimously backed the scheme.

    Would be interesting to see what they plan to do to it, if anyone's got any more info? Also, does anyone have any history on the place - I couldn't find much.

    I think it's a mix of warehouse conversions and new build.

    No they'll be incorporated into this scheme.
