Active project dates: approximately 1989.

In July 1987 MAB issued a redevelopment proposal for the Leeds Markets Area and Quarry Hill, a 17 acre site between Eastgate and Stage IV of the ring road. In February 1989 the developers for the site, MAB UK Ltd, appointed Terry Farrell and Company for the initial concept stage of planning, with the intention of subsequently appointing them for the masterplan and the master architect stage. In September 1989, MAB arranged for Terry Farrell and Company to present proposals to Leeds City Council. In November 1989, Leeds City Council agreed that there was the need for a comprehensive masterplan to be drawn up for the Quarry Hill site. At this point Terry Farrell and Company were formally invited to submit an initial exercise which would put forward some preliminary ideas for the site incorporating various use options, along with the associated identification of potential sites for these uses, and boundaries for the PSA and British Council requirements for the site.

This masterplan project also correlates with the urban plan for the Kirkgate site, which was frozen whilst the Quarry Hill master plan was developed.
