Leeds Building List

[Rob]

What I had done is put in two pics for no.3, but I've now also added an image for Bridge House at no.4

Kudos! Excellent thread and consolidated collection of the onwards and upwards direction Leeds is taking. What's your e mail address as I have the image of Criterion Place at night from City Square and don't seem to be able to post images myself. I've sent it to Gothic, but he hasn't used it yet. It looks great and would be a fantastic addition. Don't judge me on this, but instead of Superman I'd say that the development looks more like Mr Freeze's lair in Batman and Robin.

Disclaimer - I freely admit this is one of the most atrocious sequels to a decent comic book franchise. I think Batman Beyond with Christian Bale should make some amends.

WOW! You must have been really bored rob lol. Great thread, I also didnt knw threre was so much going on in Leeds, and I travel into the city center quite often. I love number 27 in the already completed, Ive never seen it b4 though. Man I hope CP gets built. Along with all the others but hat one is the key for more. So is BWP.

You are doing very well with that building list Rob. I was just wondering if it would be at all possible to put a link to larger Images. I have tried it below

Queens Hotel : by W.Curtis Green and W.H.Hamlyn, 1937. Grade II

[Rob]

I've just been adding the photos a few at a time, with a few more to add yet, and any changes as they come along. (It has been a little tedious, but I thought once it's done, it's there to stay, just needs updating from time to time)

I thought it would make a good general reference, especially to newcomers to Leeds.

Amazing!! Leeds is kicking the collective arses of Manc, Brum and Scouse!

I'm surprised. They have to build Criterion Building like that. It'll put Leeds on the world map.

Yes links to larger pics and to the relevant threads would be a good idea... ...and maps! I asked for maps! ...and there are still no maps! ..well I don't know... you just can't get the staff these days.

Went to have a close up look at Aspect 14 last weekend, for the first time. Quite a smart building, and I discovered it is 14 storeys, just as the brochures said, so I've updated the list, also added the new 'Triangle' as under construction. Also added a few more pics.

Ive been wondering about this for a while. Is New York House the Plaza? They look so similar, in what seems a similar location. So if Im wrong where in that area exactly is New York House?

Nope, they are miles from each other. New York house is (will be) on the site of the old ABC/MGM cinema at the top of Vicar Lane overlooking the ring road. The Plaza is part of the Venture building/Hepworth House at the top of Claypit Lane where that car full of booze and drugged up Giptonites vaulted the barriers and landed upside down on the Ring Road.

there are plenty of renderings scattered about the Leeds thread which show the difference. the designs are both Carey Jones, but the Plaza is 26 storeys and New York house is about 14.

Isn't the Plaza like twice as tall as New York House?

Yup, pretty much. They really are quite different. However neither yet u/c which is frankly rather disappointing.

[Leeds No.1]

Oh OK- btw I was hoping I was wrong coz then Id be disapointed that there was 1 less development....

If you check the list at the beginning of this thread, 'The Plaza' is no. 5 and 'New York House' is no. 12 on the proposed list.

[Leeds No.1]

yeah I know but I thought they looked a bit similiar and in a similar location- I just wanted to see if they were 2 different renders done at different stages of progress and people thought they were different....

[bobthebuilder]

correct me if im wrong but can franklin house be put u/c

[leeds-rich]

also Blue?

[Loiner]

And Gothic, can it be stickified please??!!

[Rob]

It should be stickified, and it will be kept up to date.

Franklin House has now been moved to under construction, also added a pic of the neet little 10 storey Minerva House on King Street. Aparantley, although it looks new, I found out recently that it is an early re-clad of an old concrete 60s block, one of the earliest re-clads, and one of the better quality ones.

[Rob]

Updated it with the new tower cranes at Franklin House and Bridgewater Place. Current total is 15 cranes.
