Leeds Building List

[Leeds No.1]

Where and what exactly is City Island phase 2? Is it just the other building (coz as you know there are 2 main buildings making up City Island)
Where and what is it? It looks so different to the City Island at the mo. and I can't find it on the City Island city, or anywhere as a matter of fact.

New tower cranes were being put up today, BWP and what looked like Cavendish House.

That brings the current total to 17. I think that is a record, certainly more than I've ever known since living in Leeds, and I doubt if there have ever been more up before, so I think it is an all time city record.

Thought we had got to nearer 20 last year, but may be mistaken. Anyway, there should be another 4 or 5 on the horizon in the next few months.

Leeds keeps reaching for the skies!!

What about the tower crane at Jimmy's!

There's a good tread developing outside the Leeds forum names " Best UK skyline" which is showing off some great city skylines including Manchester, Birmingham and Liverpool.

Now I know a number of posters have taken great pictures of the Leeds skyline and think we should be showing off our great city.

If any one can post some Leeds pictures, I think it would be good for this thread, otherwise I will have to buy a digical camera and have ago myself!!

I think other than from the A61 Harrogate approach, nearly everywhere a picture with a good skyline on has a bad foreground, e.g from the M621 you can get a great skyline but theres all those industrial warehouses and wasteland in the foreground. Hopefully this will change.

Just updated this with the new Woodhouse Lane apartments proposal.

Am I being a donut....... do we have a bigger rendering of that Woodhouse Lane student apartment or is it just the thumbnail thing? From what I can see it doesn't look too special, but then again it is a tad small.

damn, that are pretty impressive lists!

[alphaxion]

where does the "kremlin" stand in the list of leeds buildings cause it's a huge one (tho might not be tall enough to make the list)

[Leeds No.1]

I think its 10 or 11 storeys. I like that building, its a good focal point for Quarry Hill and The Headrow/Eastgate

[jimbo]

Just looking back through the first page it makes me realise how much is going on. If you add in the rumoured Beetham and International Pool site then its even more impressive.

Actually, count the potential buildings over 20 storeys....... I make it at least 10+. Next time I'm back I'll try and get out for a few hours with the camera and get some shots of the current buildings that are missing images.

Did we have any renders of Wellington Place phase 2, New York Street or City Square House? Actually, here's one of them:

City Square House

This one too.

This is a render of the urban edge flats on New York St.



And some more of City Square House.

I quite like both of these developments based on the renders.

Hmmm, it appears that the New York Street rendering is of the derelict site opposite the site currently under construction. I wonder perhaps if theya re sort of mirror images of each other and will be the same design. Might look a bit strange if so.

[jimbo]

found a link to Wellington Place phase 2, currently under construction next to the multi storey car park just round the corner from the YEP.

Wellington Place and Whitehall Road

If anyone can capture it and post it on here, its another for Rob's list of u/c, approved or proposed.

[daveylad2]

I was in that website the other week but I didn't know what this render was for.



Edit: Does anyone know what photo six is for on the idenby website??

[Rob]

That is what they are building now at Wellington Place. I recognise the curved shape in front of the M.S. car park.

It's not big enough for my list though, not 8 floors or over.

There is an image of the Student Village at the old BBC site on the Civic Trust Website.

Look in planning issues, then current applications section.

[Rob]

Just added the Leeds Met University proposal to the list, there are now 17 buildings of 20 storeys or more in the city centre (complete, under construction and serious propositions), including five at 30 storeys or more.
