hi people
does anyone now it the king edwards tower has got the go ahead yet?
or has it been cancelled? if anyone has any info i would be most grateful
thanks:PDT11
Not yet, as it doesn't have planning permission. The developers say they have all funding in place - well they always say that. If it is in place the credit crunch has no impact on it. If not fully in place they may find it difficult getting the money to build.
As this building would come on-line in around 4 years the economy would have picked up from, we hope, this temporary blip.
thanks for the info waterways :thumbsup:
do you no when a decision will be made on wether it will get the planning permission ? i hope it does i think it wuld be good for the city and it may draw in new investors:D
Planning permission may take a time as this is a large building that came under a lot of constructive criticism.
Go to, downloads and "residential move file". A small vid of the tower.

Peel are proposing the Shanghai Tower in the middle of Prices half-Tide Dock right "in front" of King Edwards. They may have to find a better dock to put it in.
DEVELOPERS plan to flood Liverpool?s ailing city centre property market with more than 700 new apartments.
Last night, parties behind two ambitious waterfront projects said they were close to resolving outstanding financial issues and were expecting to proceed.

Liverpool is such a negative city when it comes to advancement. Anywhere else they would be delighted that two new developments are being built for the future and to enhance their city. New developments are "flooding" the city instead of creating accommodation and advancing.Quote:

...and two large developments in a recession too. It is clear the writer of the article doesn't want new top class developments.
Ironic really when you consider that Liverpool was made into a great city because it was unafraid to experiment, modernise and advance.
Correct. The number of firsts in the city is phenomenal. The world's firstQuote:
