Liam Carroll of Zoe Developments must be wondering what to do with his newly completed apartment block near Smithfield now that the city planners have blocked his proposal to turn it into high quality offices. It's hardly surprising that he is anxious to find a commercial use for the building, now that investors have been forced out of the residential market. He says because of the high cost of completing the block - designed as a result of an architectural competition - he cannot hope to make a decent return from the 66 flats.

Carroll is the king of the small city apartment, having built thousands of them over the past 13 years. If he is determined not to sell the showpiece block at the junction of Church Street and North King Street as flats, what will he do with it? Suggestions on a postcard to Peter Bacon.
