Issa Quay is an 83 apartment, 12 storey block standing on Manchester's Dale Street on that's been developed by BS Construction, better known as BSC, one of an umbrella of companies owned and controlled by Bashir Issa.
Thanks to the cash flow problems of the firms controlled by Issa, plus a raft of uncompleted projects and unsold apartments, bankruptcy proceedings for almost a dozen of his companies has now begun.
The main asset was hoped to be Issa Quay which was considered almost finished and in what looked like a white knight investor move, Stay City agreed to fully rent the building out allowing it to sublet the apartments on the Manchester residential market.
Unfortunately for BSC, there were no health and safety documents certifying the completion of the building and rumours soon abounded it was in fact, unsafe. These now look to have solidified with building control having been deployed by the local council and demolition contractors on site looking at the safety of the building.
Pictures, These arent the best rooftop pictures and having the Piccadilly Tower right infront of us didn't help but inside was cool;
