The Construction of The Mercian - May 2020
Work is well underway on the facade installation, and it's looking good! The core has now reached level 15, with the 14-storey shoulder very close to topping out, with all floors edging upwards on a daily basis and showing its impressive bulk!
Another superb picture update from Daniel, Reiss and our legion of passionate contributors.

The big news this month is of course, the installation of the facade. Interestingly, the side facade on the shoulder element (facing camera) will see all solid panels; this is to avoid overlooking onto the upcoming 211 Broad Street slender skyscraper development - which can be viewed here
Enjoy this late March to present day update from Daniel and Reiss, with positive contributions from others.
