“Northern Europe’s tallest” student accommodation building reaches completion in Leeds

A new student accommodation building said to be the tallest in Northern Europe has been completed in Leeds.

Olympian Homes development Altus House has reached completion on Tower House Street in the city centre.

Comprising 37 storeys, the 23,662 sq m development stands at 116m tall and includes 752 student rooms.

Funded and operated by iQ Student Accommodation, the net zero carbon scheme is expected to welcome its first residents next month.

James Lindridge, development director for Olympian Homes, commented: “We are committed to delivering high quality developments and delivering our first building that’s Net Zero Carbon Build alongside RG Construction is a great achievement, and one we are committed to replicate.

The scheme will help to meet the considerable demand for student housing in Leeds and we hope will set a quality benchmark for student accommodation in the area.“
