I recently e mailed the architects and recieved no reply as to whether or not it was going ahead.
I have noticed that the boards at the site showing the development have been taken down.
What a shame if it does not come off,however as the same team is behind Lumiere then it would seem odd that they would be pushing for both similar looking buildings.

To be honest it seems to have just vanished in to thin air and no one has since raised the subject, but for such a big development which did at the time have so much publicity in regards to be on the bbc and in the evening post to be jus forgot would be a true shame and baffling.
The last i heard of anything about this development was in the newpapers and that they were asking the public in leeds what they thought about it! when was it that u emailed them? andy

I wrote to the Leeds vcivic trust on a couple of matters,one being if anything was going to be done with the disgrace tthat is lower Kirkgate and the other about Criterion Place,their answer was:-
"With regard to Criterion Place, we do not know much more than you do. However, we understand that the site has changed hands and the new developer has more experience of such schemes. There was a delay with land ownership issues but we have not heard anything about this for some time."
So there you go,no one knows!

I've just heard from someone that Criterion is "offically" going ahead and we should definatly see some sign of progeress (earth movers on site etc) by the end of the year? Your comments would be apprecaited. Wishfull thinking or a definate likelyhood?
