The South Tower, or Midi Tower, is a 38-storey, 150-metre office skyscraper completed in 1967 in the Saint-Gilles district of Brussels, Belgium. Built between 1962 and 1967 adjacent to Brussels-South railway station, it was the tallest building in Belgium and in the entire European Economic Community upon completion—a distinction it held until Paris's Tour Montparnasse surpassed it in 1972. Originally constructed for the Belgian Federal Pensions Service, which continues to occupy the building, it is also known as the Pensions Tower. The structure was reclad in 1995–96 with unitised glass panels of double-glazed Solarbel silver, and it houses office space for approximately 2,500 workers.
