Experience the iconic Leeds skyline from within its tallest community hub and office tower. Bridgewater Place, known locally as “The Dalek,” is a 32-storey mixed-use skyscraper completed in 2007 in Leeds city centre. With a distinctive silhouette reaching 110 m, it combines premium office space, upscale residences, retail and dining within its nine‑storey atrium, symbolising modern ambition in the city’s urban landscape. Though initially controversial—criticised for its architectural style and creating dangerous wind tunnels—the building’s developers implemented extensive wind defences by 2018, adding canopies and baffles to protect pedestrians and vehicles, ensuring safety and resilience.
Bridgewater Place is managed by x+why, offering contemporary flexible workspaces, private offices, meeting rooms, event venues, and coworking facilities accessible 24/7 to members and guests. Their on-site “Orchard” lounge and rooftop terrace foster community and creativity for businesses and events. The building’s commercial heart thrives alongside character-filled apartments, cafes, shops and ground-floor hospitality opening to the public. While Bridgewater Place doesn’t operate like a typical attraction, those interested in event bookings or workspace enquiries can reach out via their official channels.
