UPDATE: Adds new image of The Lofts design

By Paul Unger

The Moda scheme looks stunning, lets hope it happens! (The Sefton Street one, sadly, less-so).

The updated image of The Lofts, is very disappointing and cheap looking. At least the original one had some character about it.
It reminds me somewhat of past tenement buildings.

The Moda scheme at Princes Dock will be a fantastic addition to the central Waterfront area.
The massing at the Sefton Street/Parliament Street nodal point is perfect for that location and will set a new scale for the area leading further along the Waterfront as well as towards New Chinatown.

By Alfie

The Lofts would benefit from a facelift; it doesn’t really look lofty!

That said, if developer contributions can be made available to refurbish Grant Gardens, it would be great! It looks too windswept these days!

By Anon

Both schemes look stunning in my opinion.

By Jon

I see that the Lofts has now been christened the “Berlin Wall” by the locals, truly inspiring and sure to attract residents to live there.
This is what happens when developers cut corners and build cheaply, it may even surpass the dreadful Baltic Village as the worst new building in the City.
