List of tallest buildings and structures in Greater Manchester

This list of the tallest buildings and structures in Greater Manchester ranks buildings in the ten boroughs of Greater Manchester by height.
Greater Manchester currently has eleven towers completed at a height of 100 metres or more and a further five towers above 100 metres under construction. This is by far the highest number of high rises in any metropolitan area in the United Kingdom outside Greater London.

History and future development

The first proposed skyscraper in Central Manchester was the 110 metre Quay Street Tower. Envisioned to be completed in 1948 it would have been the tallest tower in Europe. The proposal was rejected and said to be inconsiderate, as much of the city was still rebuilding after the Manchester Blitz of the Second World War.
The first tall building boom in Greater Manchester occurred in the 1960s and 1970s with notable buildings including the 123 metre City Tower which became the tallest building in the United Kingdom when constructed and the 118 metre CIS Tower.
Through the 1980s and 1990s few significant proposals came to fruition. However, there has been a renewed interest in skyscrapers in Manchester in the 21st century with a number of proposals being brought forward. In 2006, the Beetham Tower became the tallest building in the United Kingdom outside London and the first to reach a height of over 150 metres making it also the first official skyscraper outside London. In 2018, Deansgate Square South Tower became the only skyscraper in the United Kingdom outside London to reach a height of over 200 metres. Trinity Tower X, estimated for completion in 2024 is due to become Greater Manchester's tallest building at 213 metres.
Unlike most major cities in the United Kingdom, there are no height restrictions and local planning officers generally adopt a laissez-faire attitude towards city centre high rises in Manchester. If all future proposals come to fruition, Greater Manchester could contain well over 250 buildings over 50 metres tall as well as 41 high rises above 100 metres and 11 skyscrapers above 150 metres, with two higher than 200 metres.
Central Manchester is the predominant location for tall proposals with 36 buildings over 100 metres either built, under construction or proposed, with a further 5 proposals earmarked for Salford Quays, three miles west of Central Manchester.
Castlefield, which contains the Trinity Islands and Deansgate Square skyscraper developments, and Greengate are the two areas with the biggest collection of skyscrapers in Manchester either built, under construction or proposed over 100 metres tall. Both areas are part of wider masterplans to expand Central Manchester out southwards and westwards respectively with amenities such as new green areas and schools to enable urban living.
However these areas are not the only new areas of Central Manchester undergoing significant development. The northern side of the city contains a number of office and residential developments either completed or currently under construction as part of the £800 million NOMA development. Significant completed projects within NOMA already delivered including the iconic One Angel Square, a modern zero carbon emissions energy-plus building and the 108 metre Angel Gardens residential tower. These buildings will be joined by the Angel Meadow development which will deliver three new residential towers including the 128 metre Angel Meadow Park and Angel Square office towers as well as the Victoria Residence development which will also deliver three new residential towers, the tallest of which will reach 119 metres.
The southern side of Central Manchester is being expanded into the Chorlton-On-Medlock inner city suburb by the Circle Square development which will deliver a mix of office and residential towers as well as new green spaces. In 2020 1 Circle Square residential tower and the 118 metre Affinity Living Circle Square residential tower became the first towers to complete in the scheme.
Aside from the above developments, the biggest new future developments areas of Central Manchester through the 2020s will be the new area of St John's in the western side of Central Manchester adjacent to Spinningfields and the £1.2 billion Mayfield scheme around Piccadilly station in the east side of Central Manchester. St John's will deliver new cultural, office and residential developments including The Factory, a new inner city theatre, the 113 metre Union Living office tower and a 108 metre Vita tower.
Over the next 10 years the Mayfield masterplan will play a key role in further expanding Central Manchester out eastwards, delivering a large new central park area among a large number of new office and residential towers with a number expected to be over 150 metres in height. Initial proposals for Mayfield to go to planning approval are expected in 2020 with the 22 storey office development in Baring Street among the first.
