Other Information
- With completion of phase 1, the phase 2
tower was subject to a complete redesign of
the original approved 26-storey scheme. A
new planning application for the revised
design has been approved increasing the
tower to a height of 37-storeys, with a
completely new profile and an interesting
cladding scheme which is a dark 'graphite'
finish to the north facade and light 'silver grey'
to the south.
- Construction work commenced in May 2007,
with the site tower crane installed in August,
and the building's core started rising in
October 2007.
- The crane was removed in March 2009, and
cladding was externally completed in early
April.
- Upon completion Sky Plaza was the tallest
student housing in the world, a title it lost to
London's Nido in 2010.
