Lumiere is in Leeds.
Also need to edit a few other points as your article contradicts itself Lin Freestone. Lumiere is to be two towers, one of 55floors/172m and the other of 33floors/113m. You say in first line "Work has stopped on the construction of a 55-storey tower in Sheffield", but then say its 54. Also the piling work is complete.

Good points - Lin's been writing and coverage press releases in commercial property for donkeys years - looks like she just had a bad day on that one and mixed things up with the St Paul's Tower, Sheffield, story which she was covering at the same time.

News item amended.

It's okay - it really was important to bring this to our attention - we published something incorrect, Lin mixed up tower developments in Leeds and Sheffield, and we needed to amend that - once notified that it was incorrect.
