The Future of the Control Tower Building at Heathrow
In response to the original enquiry ...
About a year ago, soon after the new Tower opened, we started a rumour, purely to see how long it would take to come around back to us.
On the staff buss we started to discuss the recent plans to sell-off the building and convert it to flats and appartments. We went a bit overboard in suggesting that the 'visual room' would become some kind of 'penthouse flat' with its own roof terrace, and should sell for just over £1 million. I added that I would certainly buy one, and then rent it out to night-stopping aircrew!
I week later on the bus we heard some airline staff from T1 talking about it. Gossip moves fast!
