Now that is quality Beef.

Subliving · January 5th, 2007, 11:30 PM

I can wait to see this built. A 171m sheer face look straight up. It's gonna be awesome!

And it doesn't have a spike.

Subliving · January 5th, 2007, 11:43 PM

Not like that huge billboard on Beetham Manchester!

It will be very intimidating and imposing; as you say- an uninterrupted 171m face will feel enormous; and on a site where the buildings are massed right up to the road as it is. Even the smaller tower will feel large looking up from Whitehall Road.

For those of you wanting a sneeky look at what the apartment sizes are like without having to pretend you are interested in buying 1...............

Oh, and how about a good old bit of "brand marketing" (following on from the Clarence Dock thread..........!)

Is it possible to post that location map above on to it to show those who don't know the city the location as well as showing the city itself off as well because its quite a good photo.

Skychaser 2005 · January 7th, 2007, 04:30 AM

Thought I would see where we would be in the UK skyscraper league when Lumiere is built, presuming no other major scraper starts construction before Lumiere.

There are only 5 other skyscrapers over 171m all in London.

Which ever way you look at it, Leeds will certainly be in the premier league not only in this country, but also in Europe.

Skyscrsapers without all the other trappings of a major city is no big deal !

***Rob*** · January 7th, 2007, 02:20 PM

It'll take time, give it time.

Leeds as a top league city has really only existed for about ten years, 790 years building up to it and finally off we go. These things are in the pipeline and the rate of growth in the last ten years has been phenomenal, but they can't all appear in 10 years, they may take decades; 'Rome wasn't built in a day' you know.

Molly · January 8th, 2007, 11:10 AM

It'll be so great to see this started at last.... once they get going it'll soon shoot up. This will attract a huge amount of talk in Leeds... much more so than BWP. It'll be interesting seeing how people react to this. The local artist Clifford Stead attracted a lot of interest in his predicted images of Leeds skyline by including these builds and I noticed people were fascinated.

Okay, apart from public transport what else are you complaining about?
