2005 - Freedom Point Ipswich.
Launched in November 2005 developers made the first steps to winning approval for a massive project which would dramatically add to the skyline of Ipswich's Waterfront.
That year saw a London-based company reveal its big plans for the Ipswich Waterfront, with a £130million development. The thirteen storey Freedom Point development featured at the centre of its proposals, with a Casino originally in its plans!
This development would also incorporate over three hundred luxury apartments, a 120-bedroom hotel, a fitness club, shops and restaurants with a huge multi-storey car park.
Had it been given the go-ahead Freedom Point would have become one of the Waterfront's biggest developments next to the recently completed Neptune Marina by the water's edge.
The site remains a car park today (June 2025)
John Norman kept the image as a reminder of the possibilities on the waterfront.
