Reports on the regional markets for city living skyscrapers. Iconic buildings can attract high profile developments to the area. 1 Gunwharf Quays, next to Portsmouth's Spinnaker Tower, is one example that has attracted encouraging interest before marketing begins in earnest. High-rise residential buildings are losing their association with poor planning. More regional centres are attracting such developments than has traditionally been the case. The sustainability of such buildings is still in question however, and developers must rise to the challenge.
