Bridgewater Place, Skyscraper in Leeds, England
Bridgewater Place reaches a height of 110 meters with 32 floors, making it the tallest building in Yorkshire and a central element of Leeds skyline.
The construction began in 2001 with an estimated cost of £80 million, and the building officially opened its doors in April 2007.
The structure, designed by architectural firm Aedas, combines residential apartments and office spaces, reflecting modern urban development trends in British cities.
The building includes wind mitigation systems with baffle boards and canopies to address safety concerns regarding strong winds in the surrounding streets.
Local residents gave the building the nickname 'The Dalek' due to its angular shape and metallic appearance, referencing the Doctor Who television series.
