The Great Northern Tower is a 72 metres (240 ft) sloped highrise apartment building located in the City of Manchester, Greater Manchester, England. The building was proposed in 2001 and construction began in 2004 with completion in 2007. The total cost of the development was £32,800,000 and comprises 257 apartments. The sloped style of the building was inspired by the No. 1 Deansgate building, also located in Manchester.
