Vista Tower or formerly known as Southgate House was an Office Building that used to occupy the Tax Office, Driving Theories and a secondary Council Office. Built in 1963 as a 15 storey Office Building with a Pub named The Long Ship which was under the building built within the Mezzanine Floor above for the nightclub of that floor. The Long Ship was demolished in 2001 to make way for extra car park space and that the Mezzanine Floor would be converted into office storage space. In 2015 it was decided that Southgate House would be converted and renovated into 73 two bed flats which works started in May 2015 of the conversion, In March 2017 the building was completed and renamed to Vista Tower to sound more modern and having a view overlooking all of Stevenage Town Centre.
