Worlds Tallest Student Block

Picture of Sky Plaza Building Leeds.

This tall building is the Sky Plaza and when it was completed in 2009 it was for a short while the tallest student housing block in the world, standing as it does at 37 stories and 103 metres high. This record only lasted for about a year, but by Leeds and Yorkshire standards it is a pretty tall building, being the 2nd tallest building in both Leeds and Yorkshire, after Bridgewater Place, Leeds.

The Sky Plaza building is close to the Yorkshire Bank head office building just across Claypit Lane.
