The building is the second phase of a development in Leeds city centre, and contains 533 student apartments. It was the world's tallest student accommodation building at 103 metres (338 ft) when completed,[2] although it has since been passed by others including Altus House, Leeds.[3] It can be seen from as far as 25 miles (40 km) from most areas, and is easily identifiable at night with its flashing aircraft warning light.[4]
The original planning application was an approved 26-storey scheme which was altered into the 34-storey tower. The design was submitted by Carey Jones Architects and the main contractor was Shepherd Construction. Construction took place from 2007 to 2009.[2]
