The Great Northern Tower is a 72-metre postmodern apartment building completed in 2007 on Watson Street in Manchester city centre, designed by Assael Architecture and built by Carillion. Comprising 257 apartments across a distinctive sloped profile that rises from 10 to 25 storeys, the tower was conceived to complement the curved roof of the adjacent Manchester Central Convention Complex and create a striking silhouette on the Manchester skyline. Clad in glass, metal, and grey tiles, with two basement levels, the £32.8 million development sits adjacent to the Grade II listed Great Northern Warehouse, its namesake.
