Future
Two major developments in Leeds city centre were planned for completion around the beginning of the new decade, but were put on hold due to the prevailing economic conditions and subsequently cancelled. These buildings were Criterion Place and Lumiere, both of which would have been the tallest residential buildings in the UK at the time of their completion.
Planning permission has recently been approved for a 200 room five star Hilton hotel opposite the new Leeds Arena site, due to be completed around 2015. This is following the development's re-location from Clarence Dock following the refusal of its planning permission.
