Citygate was a c. 2007 scheme to build the tallest building in Bradford and joint tallest building in Yorkshire, on a site on Manchester Road.[1] The developer went into administration in 2008 and in 2010 the site was acquired by the Skelwith Group,[2] which has announced proposals for an initial development phase of more than 700 apartments.[3]

The Aspire Citygate firm (trading under Bradford Developments) went into administration in January 2016, so the £45 million scheme has stalled despite work starting in 2012 on site.[4]
