K2 – A residential tower block, situated in the heart of the city centre, K2 is one of the tallest buildings in Leeds. Boasting 20 floors, the bottom two floors are commercial and are also known locally as The Cube.

Set amongst waterways yet overlooking the hustle and bustle of Leeds, this is apartment living at its best. The development offers over 400 one and two bedroom apartments, duplexes and penthouses and Leeds City station is a short walk away.

Bridgewater Place – Dubbed ‘The Dalek’, this office and residential tower is the tallest building in Yorkshire and can often be seen from 25 miles away. Inside you’ll find a range of uber modern flats with incredible views of the city.

West Point – Located on Wellington Street is this 17-floor tower block. Housed in a former Royal Mail House, it was renovated in 2005. The old building was demolished and additional wings were added to make a modern residential block.

Citispace – Situated 10-minutes from the city centre, Citispace apartments are contemporary, vibrant and practical. Home to landscaped gardens, a private car park, broadband and Sky TV connections and a restaurant, there’s also a full-time management team, evening security patrols, and a maintenance team. Rentals start from six months.

Clarendon Quarter – The perfect blend of old and new, these apartments are housed in a characteristic building in a fantastic location and have state-of-the-art equipment. The old school building was converted into a mix of modern studio, mezzanine, and two-bed flats, featuring exposed brickwork, arched windows, and period features. Then there’s the new build, with a bright and luxurious feel. With a series of shared spaces, the community feel here is strong – there are gardens, lounges, a games room, cinema, reading room and gym.

53 The Calls – These flats rarely come up for sale or rent but when they do, they’re not on the market for long. With original Victorian charm and unrivalled period features, it’s no surprise as to why this apartment block is so popular. Plus, there’s only 19 flats in the whole block.

Pearl Chambers – You’ve probably walked down The Headrow a number of times without ever noticing the Grade II listed building that is Pearl Chambers. Interesting floorplans, huge windows, and slanted walls give this block bundles of personality and there’s even some original features.

Roberts Wharf – Situated on the north bank of the River Aire, this converted cotton mill is home to 193 studio, one and two-bed apartments, and classic loft-style flats. Boasting large balconies and just a 15-minute walk from the city centre, this is one of the area’s most impressive blocks.

Vassalli House – Head towards House of Fraser on Central Road and you’ll find this Grade II-listed building consisting of 20 flats including studios, one and two bedroom and duplex apartments. With the whole city centre on your doorstep, it’s no wonder this is one of the most popular buildings in Leeds.
