Great Northern Tower
The sloped style of the building was designed to complement the curved roof of the neighbouring Manchester Central Convention Complex, and create a distinctive silhouette to the Manchester skyline. Clad in glass, metal, and grey tiles, the tower slopes in profile from 10 to 25 storeys, and has two levels in the basement.
Amenities
The building is located centrally in regards to the main tram and railway stations in Manchester, with the Deansgate-Castlefield tram stop/Deansgate railway station, St Peter's Square tram stop and Manchester Oxford Road railway station each within a few minutes walk. It is also adjacent to Deansgate and the Manchester Central Convention Complex (commonly known as Manchester Central or GMEX).
Occupancy
The building's ground floor units have hosted numerous businesses over the years, including the One Watson Street, Taps and Epernay champagne bars, the Zaika and Kolkata restaurants, and more recently the Kieley's Irish Bar.
