It is the second phase of a development in Leeds city centre, consisting of 572 student apartments. It is the world's second tallest student accommodation building, the third tallest being Nido Spitalfields in London,[2][3] With the tallest being 17 New Wakefield Street in Manchester. While Sky Plaza is not the tallest building in Leeds, its roof is the highest point in the city centre as it is built on high ground. It can be seen from as far as {{convert|25|mi|km|0}} from most areas. And is easily identifiable on a night with its flashing aircraft warning light. The original planning application was an approved 26-storey scheme which was altered into the 37-storey tower. The design was submitted by Carey Jones Architects and the main contractor on site will be Shepherd Construction. Construction took place from 2007 to 2009. It caters mainly to students from University of Leeds, Leeds Beckett University and Leeds College of Music. The premium range of flats are some of the most expensive student accommodation in Leeds.
