Have to disagree. Small industrial units have no place right next door to the Pier Head. Those ones were only built in the early 80's when the city was on the bones of its asre. Industrial units need to be a bit further out. Hopefully they'll get a decent pay off and move to the Ten Street or somewhere around the Baltic, better for them.
As regards the flats to replace them, I would imagine they will all be sold. They always are. I haven't the foggiest who can afford buy them. I wish I had the money. Handy for the match.
I respect your opinion but also completely disagree,Kind Sir.
The Baltic was on its backside before the creatives moved in with independent bars and eateries and turned into consistently voted the coolest place in the UK.
Just because The King Edward estate is situated closer to the Pier Head doesn't mean you move out the vibrant community of Taprooms,Bakery and other businesses that draws people to the area and replace it with a souless high rise. It's short sighted and instantly loses its vibrancy when gentrified.
You've also echoed my point about building Apartments that people can't afford...it's a complete nonsense my mate.
