South Tower is the tallest of the four skyscraper buildings which form Deansgate Square. Development of the area began in May 2016, with the four towers being completed in May 2018 (West Tower), November 2018 (South Tower) and August 2019 (North and East Towers). When completed, in 2018, the 64-storey South Tower surpassed the Beetham Tower as the tallest building in Manchester; it is currently the tenth highest in the UK (the tallest outside London). The East tower, which can be seen behind it, is a mere 50 storeys, 152 metres in height!
