New business maybe?

I've noticed a tower crane and associated lorries parked and working in the area near The Range, Lordsmill Street. Just wondering if they've found someone to buy/ lease that building now?

Looks more like it's being demolished/dismantled bit by bit.

I thought at first the pikies had been and taken some steel works from the outside of the building but I then saw a lorry yesterday with some new cladding material on its back being unloaded. Made me then think otherwise.

I would have thought a tower crane meant long term building work going on ,controled demolition is normaly carried out but external machines with crunchers etc nowadays or internal you could use a robotic version running on 3 phase electric so no fumes from a petrol/diesel engine an example being a Brokk but not seen the site access so a tower crane may be the only access for removel of rubbish.

TK Maxx Feb 14 2013. Had confirmation email from them last week. They seem to be also tidying up the jungle which was surrounding and also stopping people from seeing the stores from the main road. Hipper St South looks as though it may be going to either be an access road to the current shops OR is to be built upon.
