The building is the second phase of a development in Leeds city centre, and contains 533 student apartments.

It was the world's tallest student accommodation building at 103 metres (338 ft) when completed,[2] although it has since been passed by others including Altus House, Leeds.

[3] It can be seen from as far as 25 miles (40 km) from most areas, and is easily identifiable at night with its flashing aircraft warning light.

The design was submitted by Carey Jones Architects and the main contractor was Shepherd Construction.
