The development will be fronting Wellington Road and will feature a double height colonnade along with parking spaces for 69 cars and 92 bikes at its basement.
Planning permission for Latitude Blue, another 119,000ft² office development at the five acre Wellington Road site, has also been secured by the construction company.
The seven-storey Latitude Blue and Latitude Yellow will be suitable for potential occupiers seeking substantial space and larger floor plates, the firm said.
BAM Properties northern development manager Paul Smith said: "The recent upturn in take-up in the Leeds office market was behind our decision to take Latitude Yellow to the next stage.

"These high-spec office schemes are designed to achieve a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating, with a raft of energy efficient features that will deliver outstanding buildings for occupiers and contribute to lower running costs."
Both the office buildings will be developed by the city-based North East division of BAM Construction.
Latitude Blue and Latitude Yellow mark the second and third stages for the Wellington Road development scheme, the first being the 121,944ft² office building Latitude Red, which was sold to IVG in 2007.
