West Point, Modern tower in Leeds, England.
West Point is a modern residential tower in Leeds with a distinctive T-shaped floor plan and terracotta tile cladding. The building merges apartments with ground-level retail and leisure spaces across its full height.
The building was constructed in 1975 on the site of a former postal facility. It underwent comprehensive renovation in the early 2000s.
The structure represents the transformation of Leeds' urban landscape, combining residential spaces with retail areas across its 17 floors.
The building sits on Wellington Street in the city center and is easily accessible on foot. Entry flows through the ground-level retail area, which serves as an active entrance zone.
