Beetham West Tops The Liverpool Original

Beetham West Tops The Liverpool Original

The second Beetham Tower in Liverpool, Beetham West, has become the tallest tower block in the main cluster.

Designed by Aedas Architects, the service core has reached the 31st floor inside the DOKA whilst the main structure is up to floor 23, 3 of the lower floors are now clad, and the project is due to be finished in the autumn of 2007.

The scheme at 31 floors now exceeds the height of the original Beetham Tower that catapulted the developer to fame and fortune with its success in 2001, spawning Beetham Towers in Manchester and Birmingham plus proposals in London and Brighton and transforming the company into a label ubiquitous with high-rise living in the U.K.

Although it doesn't share the same architect as most of the Beetham towers, Ian Simpson Architects, the sameness of the Beetham brand is maintained in the glass that covering the West Tower is strikingly similar to the cladding of Beetham Manchester.

When completed the Beetham West Tower will have 40 floors above ground and reach 134 metres in height, almost an extra 50% taller than it's 90 metre tall neighbour.

As well as trumping this it also makes it the tallest building for the foreseeable future in Liverpool, but then we also thought that when Beetham one went up only a few years ago in a city that is advancing so fast there are now multiple towers of around the same height under construction and many more planned all in the same strip of land.
