When Is this going to be finished? Doesn't look close to It.

The way most of the shops are moving already when It's not close to finishing.
LUXURY living colossus One Park West was officially launched last night at Tate Liverpool in a blaze of laser-lit glory.
Green lights were beamed onto Albert Dock buildings sketching out how the 17-storey city centre apartment development will look.Quote:
One Park West will be made available in 10 phases, each involving around 30 apartments, the most expensive of which are expected to cost upwards of £400,000. It will overlook the new Chavasse Park and will offer 360-degree views.
The first phase of apartments goes on sale at 10am this morning and investors will be asked to lay out a £1,000 deposit.
One Park West is part of Grosvenor’s £920m Liverpool One development.
Built from three cores, the building will house 326 apartments, with restaurants and offices on the lower levels. continues.....
Hi all,
At last I've made it onto the forum! Kev posted some pictures on my behalf ages ago and I said at the time I'd join but didn't get round to it.
I work in the police HQ and have done for a few years, so I've overlooked the Paradise Street development since it started, back in the days of all those holes appearing in Chavasse Park and all the old treasures beneath.
Yesterday I went on a tour of the site, down Paradise Street, over to the bottom of South John Street (there's a new street connecting them) and into the new John Lewis's building, which Grosvenor have just about finished with before they hand it over to John Lewis's for fitting out. Apparently they're going to have site tours every 4 weeks now.
Here's some pictures:

South John Street, with the new Debenhams at the far end. The white double doorway thing will be a pedestrian entrance to the underground carpark, the rest will be shops (two tier).

Looking out across what will be Chavasse Park. Right in the foreground will be a grand staircase rising from the water feature at "ground level" to the raised park. Over the other side, one of the cores of Cesar Pelli's tower is on the rise.

Inside John Lewis's, looking out to where Radio Merseyside used to be.

The two-tier South John Street. There'll be bridges across here, linking the upper tier. On the right-hand side, I think there's going to be a third level, linked across to the park on the left, with an open space for outdoor cafés and the like.

East of Paradise Street, where Radio Merseyside used to be. I think it's going to be mainly apartments on this side.
Thanks for the additional information there Iain,this place is going to be brilliant when it's finished.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:
Hi Iain, glad u got here eventually:PDT10, excellent pics many thanks. :handclap:
A FOUNTAIN within a fountain will be the eye-catching centre piece of Liverpool’s newest park. more
I thought all the old Georgian buildings were listed.
I used to drink in the Eagle on a bit of a crawl after work on a friday with some of the lads when I worked in Dale street, (early finish) very midful of having to make it to the Cleveland by the pox clinic for the stripper's half six slot.
I've enjoyed watching the construction, but I'll sure be glad when Chavasse Park is back and I can go and sit there on those sunny afternoons! It was a bit tatty but I liked it, and by the crowds when the weather was good so did lots of other people. Imagine the new one all smartened up...
Looks like more construction work around Paradise St in 2008. Mate of mine sent me this link.
"Balfour Beatty said it has won design and build contracts worth £111m for privately-owned property group Grosvenor for the Paradise Project in Liverpool.
"This multi-use development, adjacent to Paradise Street in the heart of the city centre, will form a significant proportion of Grosvenor's 42-acre Liverpool redevelopment programme, which will be completed during the city's European Capital of Culture Year in 2008," the group explained in a company update.
The work will involve five Balfour Beatty companies, namely Balfour Beatty Construction, Mansell, Balfour Kilpatrick, Balfour Beatty Civil Engineering and Stent Foundations, it added."
Bah, I was believing that then Dave until you said 'mate of mine' :unibrow:
There's a Wikipedia article on the Paradise Project but it was very basic, so I've added a bit more detail tonight, and will probably do some more over the next few days. Anyone care to contribute?
Cheers Kev - I've put a link to this forum too :unibrow:
More than 60 of the apartments at One Park West, along Liverpool’s waterfront Strand, have already been sold. continues.....

^^Thanks mate^^ :PDT11
Thanks Paul, that's a fantastic picture, especially now you can see it all really taking shape
Did Snappel take that Paul? :PDT10 It looks so real, the wonders of modern technology eh!
A huge red crane has gone up somewhere near where Radio Merseyside used to be. I'm guessing it's the big new apartment block but I had no idea it would be as tall as the crane's looking. Anyone know how many storeys it's having?
I think it will be 10 storeys of apartments sitting on top of 3 storeys of shops. This is the crane ,on site 6.................

^^Thanks Woody^^ :PDT11
Great render! Nice to see actual building designs rather than just the massing blocks that have been shown for ages. Anyone know what the really large building is on Paradise street facing school lane? Looks like it is in the exact footpriint of one side of the old car park and bus station. Is this the Odeon, a shopping precinct or an individual shop?
Looking foreward to see what they do with the design of the bridge from the carpark to the John Lewis building. Great oppurtunity for something interesting like they did in Manchester from Marksies to the Arndale..

Franno posted these scans from the One Park West brochure,it looks simply stunning,one of my favourite building being built at the moment without doubt.
It even has David and Victoria Beckham and family picnicking in front of it. :handclap:
It looks nice but I can't help noticing it's lost a lot of its height - the tower sticking up by just 5 floors above the rest doesn't do it for me. Although park looks great.
Funny how the renders always show a nice sunny day. Wonder what it'll all look like on a typical Liverpool day :unibrow:
I noticed a couple of days ago, there's a couple of concrete "ramps" going up onto the park from near the base of One Park West. I thought at first they'd be access ramps for the trucks and machinery, but now they look like they'll be the new pathways. It's all coming together nicely :celb (23):
