You think 1 BILLION Pounds is to build a bungalow or face-me-i-face-you?

~ 600 billion naira.

Say 15% of the Nigerian Budget, 2017. Coughed out by one company, to build an office in another country outside its home country.

Last I checked Google has no drop of oil but has lots of latented human resource. Nigeria, invest in your people.

It's not a skyscraper, it looks about 4 floors.

It's hard if not impossible to get permit to build skyscrapers in central London especially areas like Kings Cross where the office will be located.

GeneralOjukwu:


uh? What do you call these, earth-scrapers?

ttmacoy:
I wouldn't exactly call those skyscrapers e.g. the first link only the first building with 27 floors is called a sky scrapper and the rest high rises. My idea of skyscrapers WHO GIVES A Sh1T? would be 40 floor upwards but that is debatable but that student building with 14 floors is NOT a skyscraper, and if you look at the history before they got permit to start development it would have been a long process.

I maintain my point it is very difficult to get permit for sky scrappers in central London areas like kings Cross. It is easier to get permit for a skyscraper in areas like Canary Wharf/docklands etc. For areas like Kings Cross it is incredibly hard and there are just not many buildings I will call a sky scrapper there.

At least we can agree from the photo of the proposed building it is only 4-5 floors and hence not a sky scrapper.

GeneralOjukwu:



All the articles called the buildings "SKYSCRAPERS" (big font incase you didn't see the first time)

What certification do you have to deem them wrong?

Stop shifting goalposts. You were clearly proven wrong.

I am done with someone who argues with clear evidence right in the face.

ttmacoy:
Ok buddy, no need use such words I never insulted you and the so called website you sent actually called them highrises except 1 so I don't get your point about proving me wrong. A 20 story high building is NOT a skyscrapper.

And my point still remains the google building is 4-5 floors so def not a skyscraper irrespective of how you want to define one. It is easier to get permit to build a Skyscrapper in the Canary Wharf/Docklands are compared to the city centre especially a built up area like Kings Cross.

That's a definition for you:

A skyscraper is a tall, continuously habitable building of over 40 floors, mostly designed for office, commercial and residential uses. A skyscraper can also be called a high-rise, but the term skyscraper is often used for buildings higher than 150 m (492 ft). For buildings above a height of 300 m (984 ft), the term Supertall can be used, while skyscrapers reaching beyond 600 m (1,969 ft) are classified as megatall. Skyscraper

GeneralOjukwu:


You can argue till Jesus comes, but anyone with eyes would READ 27-storey building called a SKYSCRAPER by the Islington Gazette.

They have some credo, as i asked the other time, what's yours for dismissing their opinion?

Done here. Refer to my last statement on the other comment.

ttmacoy:
Chief Ojukwu firstly I said it clearly it is hard to get a permit to build a skyscraper I didn't say there are NO skyscrapers.

Secondly the link only lists 1 skyscraper so doesn't that support my point? You keep saying they are all skyscrapers but the list clearly only lists one skyscrapers and the rest as high-rises doesn't it?

Thirdly your main point was "who said the Google building wasn't a skyscraper" and we can both agree it is a 4-5 story building or is that a skyscraper as well?

As I said in the world of skyscrapers a 27 story building is not really considered a skyscraper but hey let's go with it is. So there are what 1 or 2 skyscrapers in the area and that is lots of skyscrapers?
