The Pinnacle, Office high-rise building in central Leeds, England.
Description
The Pinnacle is a high-rise office building in central Leeds that rises approximately 80 meters across 20 floors. Retail shops occupy the ground level, while office spaces fill the upper stories.
History
The building was constructed in 1973 and held the title of Leeds's tallest structure until Bridgewater Place surpassed it in 2005. Its development coincided with the city's push to modernize its urban landscape.
Culture
The building occupies space where a chapel and entertainment venue once stood, marking a shift in how Leeds used its central areas. This transition reflects the city's move toward modern commerce and office work during the post-war years.
Practical
You can reach the building easily from Upper Basinghall Street and it connects directly to Leeds's central shopping area. Parking is available in the multi-level car park located within the building.
