Title: Bristol Millennium Opera House Post by: Red Squirrel on November 27, 2017, 11:13:08 Don't get too excited; it'll be a long time before we'll see another millennium. With that in mind, Bristol City Council have decided - approaching twenty years after the Behnisch 'Exploding Greenhouse' Harbourside Centre was canned - to sell off part of the site:
Quote Bristol City Council is selling an acre of prime land by the Waterfront The land sits next to Millennium Square, the Floating Harbour, is surrounded by restaurants and being advertised by Savills estate agents A piece of one of Bristol City Centre's most iconic areas is up for sale. Bristol City Council is selling off a parcel of its land on the Waterfront, which is described as an “unprecedented opportunity”.

The real beauty of the 'slow death' cancellation approach is that if you do it right, you get to quietly hang onto an appreciating asset (the site) which you can then sell when the weather gets really bad (i.e. now, in this case).
