Bayscape Tower Crane - Cardiff
May 2014
These photos are taken from the tallest crane in the photo below.
Bayscape is a prestigious waterfront development in a booming and proud Capital city. Plans for a £60m waterfront flats and hotel development, stalled by the global financial crisis, have been given the go-ahead. Cardiff council’s planning committee backed a proposal by the developers behind the Bayscape scheme to increase the number of apartments and commercial space. Under the new plans, the hotel – which could become one of the tallest buildings in Wales – will be built in a later phase. The 32-storey hotel, to be run by American luxury chain Wyndham Hotels, has been dogged by delays since planning permission was granted in October 2009. At 127m high, it would be higher than the 80m Capital Tower, the BT Tower, which is 78m with a 40m spire on top, and the 107m-tall Meridian Quay in Swansea.
