This list of the tallest buildings and structures in Greater Manchester ranks buildings in Greater Manchester by height.

As of February 2024 ^[update] , Greater Manchester has 20 towers completed at a height of 100 metres (330 ft) or more and a further 12 towers above 100 m under construction. This is the largest number of high-rises in any metropolitan area in the United Kingdom outside London.

History and future development

The first proposed skyscraper in Central Manchester was the 110 m (360 ft) Quay Street Tower. Envisioned to be completed in 1948, it would have been the tallest tower in Europe. ^[1] 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 118 m (387 ft) CIS Tower, which became the tallest building in the United Kingdom when constructed in 1962 and the 107 m (351 ft) City 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, Beetham Tower became the tallest building in the United Kingdom outside London and the first to reach a height of over 150 m (490 ft), making it also the first official skyscraper outside London. ^[2] In 2018, Deansgate Square South Tower became the only skyscraper in the United Kingdom outside London to reach a height of over 200 m (660 ft). South Tower is due to be surpassed by the end of the decade by The Lighthouse, a 213 m (699 ft) skyscraper also in the Great Jackson Street framework, ^[3] Regent Park Ordsall Lane Tower 1, a 232 m (761 ft) tall skyscraper in Ordsall facing Great Jackson Street, as well as Viadux Tower 2, a 241 m (790 ft) tall skyscraper in the Central Business District. ^{[4] [5]}

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 over 350 buildings over 50 m (160 ft) tall, as well as over 60 high-rises above 100 m (330 ft) and 22 skyscrapers above 150 m (490 ft). Each of these figures are substantially higher than anywhere else in the United Kingdom outside of London.

Central Manchester is the predominant location for tall proposals, with 50 buildings over 100 m (330 ft) either built, under construction or proposed, along with a further 14 being built, under construction or proposed in Salford, immediately to the 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 Greater Manchester either built, under construction or proposed over 100 m (330 ft) tall. Both areas are part of wider masterplans to expand Central Manchester and Salford out southwards and westwards respectively, with amenities such as new green areas and schools to enable urban living.

The northern side of the city also contains a number of office and residential developments either completed or, as of 2023, under construction as part of the £800 million NOMA development. Significant completed projects within NOMA include One Angel Square, a modern zero carbon emissions energy-plus building and the 108 m (354 ft) Angel Gardens residential tower. These buildings will be joined by the Angel Meadow development, which will deliver three new residential towers including the 128 m (420 ft) Angel Meadow Park and Angel Square office towers, and the Gas Works development which will deliver nine separate buildings ranging from 8 to 34 storeys. ^{[6] [7]}
