Sky Plaza

Sky Plaza is a tall student residence with 37 floors in central Leeds. The building features large windows that bring natural light into the units and contains over 500 apartments designed for student living.

Construction began in 2007 and concluded in 2009, marking a turning point in Leeds' approach to student housing. The project reflected growing demand for modern residential spaces in the city center.

The building anchors the Arena Quarter, where students from multiple universities create an active residential community that shapes the neighborhood's character.

The building includes common areas, a fitness facility, private study spaces, and round-the-clock security for residents. These facilities allow students to find everything they need for studying and living in one location.

When it opened, it held the record for the world's tallest student housing building and was visible from considerable distances. This distinction made it a local landmark that stood out distinctly from other structures in the city.
