Central Park is a major mixed-use urban renewal project in Sydney, Australia located on Broadway in the suburb of Chippendale. The first stage of the redevelopment is a tower called One Central Park designed by Jean Nouvel featuring vertical gardens by Patrick Blanc and LED art by Yann Kersalé. The design includes a cantilevered section including a heliostat to provide light to the parkland below. It is the tallest building on the site. Construction by Watpac Construction was completed in October 2013. In May 2014, the One Central Park East tower was ranked by Emporis as one of the world's best skyscrapers. In July of the same year, it was chosen as the best tall building in Asia and Australia by Chicago based Council for Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH).
Bosa Properties' Pier West will be the tallest development in New West, and will have one of the tallest towers in Metro Vancouver
If you told me thirty years ago that people would be getting out of the Pub Business I would thought that you were insane but it is now happening on a regular basis especially in Dublin city.
According to media reports in August the Addison Lodge on Dublin's Northside is to remain in place after Dublin City Council refused planning permission to build apartments on the site where it is located.
My understanding is that developers had hoped to construct 19 houses and 12 apartments on the site in Glasnevin [across the road from the Botanic Gardens].
A few days ago I heard a rumour that revised planning permission application has been resubmitted [note: I could not find any evidence to support this rumour]
Capital Dock is one of the largest mixed-use developments ever built in Ireland and it was completed towards the end of 2018 but I was unable to gain access to the completed project until Easter weekend 2019. The compex spans 4.8 acres, providing more than 690,000sq ft of new mixed-use space, including offices, retail and family units, as well as more than 1.5 acres of public park space.
Global investment bank JP Morgan and jobs site Indeed have committed to occupy all of the available office space, and are preparing their new premises for occupancy in 2019.
Nearly 200 family units will be available to rent this year, with a dedicated on-site concierge, resident lounges, cinema, professional gym, business suites and a chef’s kitchen. There is also be a landscaped park and square open to the public.
The project will welcome new retailers in the coming year, including a restaurant and bar with a terrace, a gourmet grocer, and additional food and beverage offerings.

North Wall Avenue is a new street at the Point Depot. There was a plan to connect it by a bridge over the Liffey to Capital Dock on Sir John Rogerson's Quay.
North Wall is east of the inner north side of Dublin, along the River Liffey. It contains the entire north side of Dublin Docklands and includes the International Financial Services Centre, Spencer Dock, and further east the main part of Dublin Port.
The area is dominated by a combination of older housing, dockland activities and new development through the Docklands Strategic Development Zone Planning Scheme, including extensive construction of new retail, residential and office spaces.
Transport in the area includes the Dublin Area Rapid Transit (Docklands railway station on Sheriff Street), the LUAS (red line stations George's Dock, Mayor Square, Spencer Dock, and The Point, and 8 Dublinbikes stations (at Custom House Quay, City Quay, Excise Walk, Lime Street, Guild Street, Convention Centre, New Central Bank, and The Point).
Manor Nursery, Angmering ... about four months after it closed down in July. It will eventually go for building land.
This was part of the private collection of cacti and succulents at Manor Nursery, Angmering, West Sussex. The collection was started in 1948. The nursery is now gone. The collection has been dispersed to various new locations.
Kroenleinia grusonii was originally placed in the small genus Echinocactus, which together with the related genus Ferocactus, are commonly referred to as barrel cacti. The species was first described by German plantsman Heinrich Hildmann in 1891 and named for German industrialist and cactus collector Hermann Gruson.
Recent phylogenetic studies have found that Echinocactus grusonii is probably polyphyletic with respect to the rest of Echinocactus, and is probably derived from hybrids between Echinocactus and Ferocactus. To correct this, Echinocactus grusonii has been moved to its own genus, and under this scheme the correct name would be Kroenleinia grusonii. However, not all authorities have accepted this move so far.
Kroenleinia grusonii, popularly known as the golden barrel cactus, golden ball or mother-in-law's cushion, is a species of barrel cactus which is endemic to east-central Mexico.
It is rare and endangered in the wild, where it is found near Mesa de León in the state of Querétaro, and in the state of Hidalgo. The population was critically reduced in the 1990s, by the creation of the Zimapán Dam and reservoir in Hidalgo. The cactus grows in volcanic rock on slopes, at altitudes around 1,400 metres (4,600 ft).
Kroenleinia grusonii is widely cultivated by specialty plant nurseries as an ornamental plant, for planting in containers, desert habitat gardens, rock gardens, and in conservatories. Beyond Central Mexico, Kroenleinia grusonii specimens may also be seen in collections of desert plants in many botanical gardens. In the UK it has gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit.

This is the same space, shot from another angle. Again, because it was an overcast day i didn't use much flash. One to the left at 1/4-3, and then some colour correction on the floor in LR4

Bosa Properties' Pier West will be the tallest development in New West, and will have one of the tallest towers in Metro Vancouver
For most of the week the UK news media have been covering the story of the office block (on the R) that nearly started the second fire of London - well it melted a car and scorched a doormat in a street below.
Apparently the reflected sunlight from the concave glass facade of the building designed by Rafael Vinoly is concentrating solar energy (known in the tabloids as "death rays") into a small area of the street and pushing temperatures up into the 50s. For the full story see here:

In this view from Union Street in Southwark you can also see how this rather overbearing newcomer to the City skyline (nicknamed The Walkie-Talkie) blocks out the view of Foster's Gherkin.
Meanwhile Richard Rogers' Cheesegrater begins to make its presence felt nearby. In the background the Heron Tower pales into insignificance although it is in fact slightly taller than the Cheesegrater.
But don't worry there'll be another taller one along soon - The Pinnacle which will squeeze in front of the Heron Tower at 288m to become the tallest building in the City of London.
