Manor Point - 19 Storeys - BRADFORD

[Yorkshire Boy]

I noticed that the Manor Point proposed in Leeds is getting quite a bit of attention at the moment, and there seems to be one propsed for Bradford too which seems to have gone unnoticed - either that or its dead in the water (as with most Bradford schemes). Anyway, it doesn't have a thread so I think it's big enough to warrant its own one.

[*-City Of Bradford-*]

Never heard of it before.

Still it should be at least something significant for Bradford, although as I also mentioned in the Manor Properties Building in Leeds it would be worthwhile questioning where the funding for this scheme would come from considering credit is much harder to get in this day and age (although of course student developments should be less at risk as opposed to say apartment or office developments) and would it be better to spread the development of student housing which could be a better thing for Bradford around as opposed to doing it all in one big development?

Manor Mill in Hull has been given the green light and may start next year, wonder what the prospects for this and the Manor tower in Leeds is?

Green light as in extension to planning approval.
Thats like a two foot high hurdle cleared, now just the Berlin wall sized hurdle to clear of obtaining adequate funding.
