John Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 I really hope it is, as it does look really good. Just what the IOM and Douglas needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Hedgehog Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Looks ace. I assume though like all other things the Sefton Group say they are going to build that it will never happen though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebees Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Show me the cinema first. Perhaps it's the Manx thing of 'time enough' catching on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Oh yes! Please let it happen! A step in the right direction at last!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Oh yes! Please let it happen! A step in the right direction at last!! Yep, good if it happens, but I'm also worried about the holes that'll be left behind on the prom if the hilton and cinema relocate. More flats?

La_Dolce_Vita Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 When it says skating does the article refer to ice skating or roller skating? I think it sounds like a really good idea, but it does seem that the intial ideas mentioned in the article are demonstrating that the idea is to try to fit as much as possible into this Wave building. I hope they stick to their plans if they continue with such ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shill Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I have to question £30 million. Surely this is nowhere near the cost of building this kind of project. I would of said it would of been nearer double that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 They do have plans for the other sites, I think it invloves combining the palace and Castlemona into a single complex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Congratulations to the Sefton Group, I think the island will be very grateful for such a facility. Unfortunately in this day and age £30 million is quite realistic, especially for something that size. Your typical 3/4 storey building to hold 400 office workers will set you back at least £6 million. This is a public building, much bigger and far more complicated.

Shill Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I would of thought it would of been a lot more than 30 million. Thats what I was saying Albert. Not grumbling with the price just think there under budgeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manxman2 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 They do have plans for the other sites, I think it invloves combining the palace and Castlemona into a single complex. the true picture will out in the end .. anything to do with ferguson lacy will be for his benefit not the islands i would bet my house on it. and the tax payer will foot a goodly chunk of any construction costs in grants you just wait and see .. to my mind they will just relocate what we already have to a new tax payer subsidised complex. and cash in on the other sites .. he doesnt wine and dine the islands top shopkeeper and farmers for the fun of it.
