£1bn Chinese investment in Sheffield

[xsf7 10]

Are we talking about the enormous building that's leaping up next to St Mary's on the ring road? The last time I went past (which was a few weeks ago) it looked like it was well on the way to completion.

It hasn't stalled, there's a lot of work that has been done on the lower blocks.

I didnt think it had stalled either. It impressed just how big it is.

I disagree - some of the formwork visible from the road has been up for months.

 

Maybe wrong to say stopped but certainly slow.

You just said its stopped? have you been on site? Do you know what the schedule is?

Do you live round that end of town? I go past it once or twice a week and Ive just thought it was steady progress.

No - I've not been on site but there are indicators that progress isnt what it should be ordinarily.

Looks as though it's progressing fine

On a closer look what I thought was formwork I think is edge protection so it looks like I was wrong - the info from the previous poster suggest it's phased also so fair does.

 

I'm looking forward to the development so wasn't taking any pleasure in the fact that I thought there may be an issue.

Another alcoholic beverage establishment is sorely needed for the area, especially on matchdays. Will be nice to have some different food on matchdays too.

Let's not count our chickens until some development actually starts with this money. Look at how the council handled Sevenstone.

Positive news allthough if something sounds too good to be true......

I mean would you throw a billion pounds at Julie Dore??

 

"If something sounds too good to be true it usually is..."

 

I suspect our esteemed council leaders have been taken for a ride. The latest news is pointing this way.
