Is Victoria Court in trouble?

Since it opened in 2008, Victoria Court has struggled to fill up all the apartments, after all, it was born in the midst of the credit crunch, fast forward two years, and it still hasnt managed to sell some apartments, granted, it isnt as bad as it was in 2008, but its still struggling. Of course, the fact that Tony Gordon was the man behind these apartments hasnt helped either, with him going to prison in November last year, then breaking out and blowing up the nearby factory.

Hopefully, things will get better for this little gem of a building, it has definitely brightened up Victoria Street, though the fact its built next to a builders yards takes a little bit away from it.

Haha no problem, I added a link to the linkbox too :) It's a good pic (the others are usually of the main entrance and not that one :D)

I haven't seen the picture before, which entrance is that?

It's beside where the builders yard is, across the road from the other one :)

I cannot believe in this day of housing shortages that flats stand empty anywhere. You would rent them out to DSS via the Council if you couldnt get private tenants. It sounds like Victoria Court ended up a bit white elephant,

Victoria Court always seemed like a Mickey Mouse operation :P ^
