Altus House is a 37-storey, residential skyscraper in Arena Quarter, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. The building consists of over 752 student units.^[2] Sources differ as to whether it is 114 metres (374 ft)^[2] or 116 metres (381 ft)^[3] tall, but by either measurement Altus House is the tallest building in Leeds and Yorkshire as of 2023, taking the title from Bridgewater Place in 2021.

Tallest building accolades[edit]

After topping out in late 2020, Altus House became the tallest building in West Yorkshire, and the tallest in the wider county of Yorkshire. It became Leeds' third building over 100 m (330 ft) along with Bridgewater Place and Sky Plaza, the former of which previously held the title of the tallest building in Yorkshire.^[2] It is also the tallest student accommodation building in northern Europe.^[3]

It was the 13th tallest building in the United Kingdom outside Greater London upon completion.^{[citation needed]}
