Yorkshire's Tallest Building Tops Out!

[@reecyvidz]

Hello, I mentioned in the video that Bridgewater Place was the last large scale building, as we all know thats not true! I don't know why I said that I think I was implying Cirrus Point is the largest building of such a big scale since Bridgewater Place (112m) as Altus was only 2 meters taller at 114m. Hope this makes better sense. Sorry everyone! 😅

Love your videos! Your enthusiam about the changes to our beloved Northern cities is shared by me :-) ignore the naysayers, some people will complain about literally anything being built.

[@reecyvidz]

@JT-nr2ss Hello! Thank you so much for the lovely comment! I don't know about you, but I don't know what's to moan about? They're improving our cities making them more like abroad... Saves going travelling... 🤣💖

[@AlienatedNortherner]

Another good video. I've watched the rise of Cirrus Point from my office window. It really will be a spectacular addition to the top of town. Not sure if you're aware, but another core is now rising on Water Lane. This the 'Sky Gardens' tower, which will be 34 floors when complete. One for your next Leeds development tour, maybe....

[@reecyvidz]

@AlienatedNortherner Hello! Oh wow, bet that's cool to watch! I have just done another video and briefly showed it, but I will do a detailed one once it's taller! Thank you so much for watching! ❤️😃

The Leeds city skyline has changed so much since I gre up there in the 70s/80s. Back then I think West Riding House was the tallest building in the city.

[@speedtriplerider7853]

short n sweet but thanks anyway - good to see Leeds on the up

[@reecyvidz]

@speedtriplerider7853 I'm so sorry about that, I do prefer making longer videos, I didn't get to Leeds till late today so didn't have much time to cover other areas, but thanks for being honest! 👊

[@speedtriplerider7853]

@@reecyvidz NO NEED TO APOLOGISE MATE - oops didn't see caps lock on. I wasn't complaining just expressing my disappointment as I really enjoy your long-form videos. I understand that sometimes time is short. With the busy lives we all lead it's good to get any kind of update.

[@reecyvidz]

@speedtriplerider7853 ❤️ I didn't see it as a complaint, I was just grateful you spoke your thoughts, I will probably go back in a couple of week or so, I'll try do a longer video - thank you for your understanding ❤️🙂

Reece! I've just got back from two weeks in Hong Kong, now that is a city worth visiting, amazing tall buildings, it has the most amount of skyscrapers than anywhere else in the world.... I loved it

Do people think the North is finally getting back to its glory days?Leeds and Manchester are both doing well. Wages are rising quite fast in the North too. The Tech industries are motoring all over the North. We are still hindered by London based prejudices and that doesn’t matter which main party is in power but considering the decades of neglect we have experienced, compared to the South, we are doing pretty well I think. I think there is room for optimism.

[@reecyvidz]

@paulwild3676 I wouldn't say so, NHS is shambles and buses could do with modernization and punctuality improvement. The cities are thriving though by the looks of it, which is great to see, but smaller places like Bradford are behind, very behind. Also Huddersfield, Halifax and other places are losing their high street spark, no one goes into town centre's anymore because there's nothing to buy, everything's online. Trains are good enough imo, the actual locomotives are pretty modern, sleek and fast, but could improve punctuality. Hopefully there is light and we could be going into another revolution. ❤️🙂

[@paulwild3676]

@ Thank You for responding. The cities are booming but the towns in between them are struggling, as you say. Huddersfield was highlighted as a future boomtown due to it being less than an hour from Manchester airport.

[@reecyvidz]

​@paulwild3676 Very true, when I was a kid in the 2000s, Huddersfield high street was a place to be, there was loads of shops and things going on, on the streets it was great! It's quite sad how it's gradually decreasing in shop facilities and street stalls etc. It would be fantastic to see our local towns getting their shine again, maybe not shops as they aren't making as much profit, but other things people can get out for a ride and do so they feel their trip was worthwhile? ❤

[@Rob99552]

I would say Leeds is thriving on many levels, but agree this is despite the poor support from government not because of it; we are achieving what we are mostly standing on our own two feet.

[@paulwild3676]

@ We are standing on our own two feet. We have no choice, because since we stopped powering the economy with all the dirty jobs, we have been either patronised,or ignored. There is a tendency from London governments to think that we are like the South West, or East Anglia, with a small scattered population. I don’t think that they realise there are 9 million people on the M62 corridor between Leeds via Manchester to Liverpool. If Bradford was in the South East, it would be the second biggest place after London and yet it doesn’t have a proper through train service, to either Leeds or Manchester. It is beyond ridiculous.

@ that’s good to hear. I’m not too bad thanks. It’s my birthday 8th November!! I can see the red lights of the building from my house. We’re in a valley and unable to see any other structures apart from that. It’s about 5 miles away xx

[@reecyvidz]

@melonycrumpet Happy birthday! Have a wonderful day!🎉 Wow, you won't get lost finding your way into Leeds at night! 😄 I live on a hill and at the top Crow Hill it's called you can see for miles, I bet on a clear night you could just about see it! ❤️ xx

[@easydrive3662]

Leeds cc is starting to look very grand with numerous clusters of tall buildings around its city centre, you have the group of tall buildings where this video had been shot, the buildings are all very compact and in a high area of the city so from a distance you see the half dozen or so talls which look fantastic, then down towards the south west of the city centre another cluster is arising that covers a good stretch which will look great. Plans are also in place for numerous other tall buildings to start soon. Once leeds tallest building is finished it will be among one of the best skylines in the uk, even though leeds is seeing many very tall new buildings its not always about the sheer height but how they actually look in design and location etc mancs has those awful grey mucky looking builds that all look the bloody same!

[@husamnasralla3106]

@@reecyvidz So am I. I live at the base of the Beetham Tower and have the nest of Deansgate Square towers near to me too. I like them very much. I have been waiting for other cities to follow suit. No one apart from Mancunians seems to realise the change. I moved into Manchester City centre in 2003 and the skyline is completely unrecognisable. I am largely in favour. I hope that the new development in Leeds is just the start. Beetham Tower in Manchester seemed to be a one-off at the time, but then it was copied.

Nothing against skyscrapers, but this is overkill. British cities are starting to lose their local charactaer and charm and are starting to look like copy and paste generic American cities.

@Kevin-mx1vi Depends how you look at it, I can see your point, but when it's complete it'll look good!

[@Kevin-mx1vi]

@reecyvidz Look good or _BE_ good ? Frankly I'm not impressed. To me, a beautiful building is a tiny 13th century church or an ancient bridge in some hidden part of the Dales, where you can still see the marks made by the people who built it. Will this skyscraper still be around in 100 years, let alone 700 ? No, it's really nothing more than a temporary thing.

[@reecyvidz]

@Kevin-mx1vi Empire State and Crysler are still around and they're a century old? I understand, we can't all like the same thing.

[@husamnasralla3106]

@@Kevin-mx1vi People can build well and badly. I don't see that modern designs need necessarily be bad.

[@lamb1102]

Always get people saying "ooh that's ugly, it's not exactly a 13th century monastery, it won't be here in 100 years blah blah blah. Well, they're not building ancient buildings anymore, surprisingly. It's 2024 and the world has changed, for the better in most things, but architecture is constantly shifting with the times. Nobody will build the old stuff now because it's not commercially viable so just enjoy what's left and stop moaning 😂
