Comprised of a 21 storey tower over a 2 storey podium, Manchester One is a high-rise office building on Portland Street. It was built as St. Andrew's House and, when completed in 1962, was one of the UK’s first high rise buildings. It was renamed Portland Tower in the 1990s. Commercial property developers Bruntwood renovated the building and subsequently renamed it “Manchester One" in November 2012 (http://www.bruntwood.co.uk/news/bruntwood-invest-over-pound2m-and-re-launch-portland-tower-as-manchester-one ). Although it is now dwarfed by the CIS and Beetham (Hilton) Towers, Manchester One is still one of Manchester's tallest buildings.
