West Point, formerly known as Royal Mail House, is a 65 metres (213 ft) tall 17-floor tower block located at number 29 of Wellington Street in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It was constructed in 1975 and renovated in 2005 as a huge redevelopment of the old Royal Mail building site, following their move to a new south Leeds purpose built sorting centre. The old building was mostly demolished[when?] and what remained was stripped to the bare skeleton and rebuilt, with additional wings added from scratch to the central block.
