The building was constructed in 1965 and with 19 floors is currently the joint fifth tallest building in Leeds, along with Park Plaza Hotel Leeds. Tower North Central was reclad in 1980, and refurbished in 2003–2004,[1] and now provides 76,800 sq ft (7,130 m2) of office space. The building also benefits from extensive on site parking with over 100 covered spaces available. The upper 11 floors are occupied by a variety of tenants following refurbishment whilst the lower seven floors and ground floor were excluded from the scheme as they were let to Axa at the time.

Plans have been lodged with Leeds City Council to demolish the building and build a 43-storey student accommodation block in its place.[1]
