To show the progress of the ongoing work I've attached 2 photos that I took on November 25 2022. The first was taken from Merrion Street and the second from the junction of Merrion Street and Wade Lane (the latter is on the left).

These are 3 photos that I took in the area on May 24 2023. The first shows the work so far up to floor 21 of 32. The second is from the Wade Lane (left) and Merrion Street junction showing the work going on at Fairfax House and down Merrion Street. The third is from the junction of Woodhouse Lane and Merrion Street (it looks fairly quite when taken but it was very busy otherwise).

Thanks for posting the photos.
Drove down Merrion Street at lunchtime today so not much chance for a proper look.

I have attached 3 photos that I took on August 23 2023 showing further work at Merrion Street. The first is near where that part of Merrion Street meets New Briggate (at the traffic lights) at the site on Merrion Street that had long closed-down premises. The second is the building where Santander Bank HQ had been. The third is a view down Merrion Street from where Wade Lane joins (on the left).
