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

{{As of|2025|April}}, Greater Manchester has 26 towers completed at a height of {{convert|100|m}} or more and a further six 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 Manchester was the {{cvt|110|m}} tall Quay Street Tower. Envisioned to be completed in 1948, it would have been the tallest tower in Europe.{{Cite web|url=http://www.skyscrapernews.com/buildings.php?id=1200|title=Quay Street Tower, Manchester - Building #1200|website=Skyscraper News|access-date=1 March 2023|archive-date=28 October 2006|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061028222201/http://www.skyscrapernews.com/buildings.php?id=1200|url-status=dead}} 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.{{cite web |last=Schofield |first=Jonathan |date=13 September 2017 |title=Jonathan Schofield on exciting plans to cover a big bare wall on Quay Street |url=https://confidentials.com/manchester/sunlight-house-manchester-quay-street-a-stunning-city-centre-tower-68-years-late |website=Confidentials Manchester |access-date=15 January 2025}}

Prior to Greater Manchester's creation as a ceremonial county in 1974, the first tall building boom in Manchester and Salford occurred in the 1960s and 1970s, with notable buildings including the {{cvt|118|m}} tall CIS Tower, which became the tallest building in the United Kingdom when constructed in 1962,{{cite web |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/manchester/3218247.stm |title=Green light for high living |date=27 October 2003 |publisher=BBC News |access-date=26 October 2024}} and the {{cvt|107|m}} tall City Tower in 1965.Hartwell, Clare; Hyde, Matthew; Pevsner, Nikolaus (2004), Lancashire: Manchester and the South-East, (The Buildings of England), Yale University Press, {{ISBN|0-300-10583-5}}; p. 326 The following year, the {{cvt|80|m}} tall City Central tower overtook Salford Cathedral as the tallest building in Salford since 1848.

Through the 1980s and 1990s, few significant proposals came to fruition. However, there has been a renewed interest in skyscrapers in both Manchester and Salford 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 {{cvt|150|m}}, making it also the first official skyscraper outside London.{{cite news |last=Sunyer |first=John |date=22 March 2013 |url=http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/230a6b38-8fca-11e2-ae9e-00144feabdc0.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160624141611/http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/230a6b38-8fca-11e2-ae9e-00144feabdc0.html#slide0 |archive-date=24 June 2016 |url-access=subscription |url-status=bot: unknown |quote=Though for Manchester, it's massive.

Unlike most major cities in the United Kingdom, there are no height restrictions on city centre high-rises in Manchester.{{cite web |last=Whelan |first=Dan |date=2 February 2023 |title=The Subplot : Manchester's lofty ambitions, Liverpool office activity, industrial interference |url=https://www.placenorthwest.co.uk/the-subplot-manchesters-lofty-ambitions-liverpool-office-activity-industrial-interference/ |website=Place North West |access-date=15 January 2025}} If all future proposals come to fruition, Greater Manchester could contain nearly 400 buildings over {{cvt|50|m}} tall, as well as 72 high-rises above {{cvt|100|m}} and 25 skyscrapers above {{cvt|150|m}}. 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 54 buildings over {{cvt|100|m}} either built, under construction or proposed, along with a further 18 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 {{cvt|100|m}} 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 central Manchester also contains a number of office and residential developments either completed or, as of 2025, under construction as part of the £800 million NOMA development. Significant completed projects within NOMA include the {{cvt|72.5|m}} tall One Angel Square office building, and the {{cvt|108|m}} tall Angel Gardens residential tower. These buildings will be joined by the Angel Meadow development, which will deliver three new residential towers including the {{cvt|128|m}} tall Angel Meadow Park and Angel Square office towers, and the Gas Works development which will deliver nine separate buildings ranging from eight to 34 storeys.{{cite news |url=https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/old-manchester-gasworks-transformed-1200-19308953 |title=Old Manchester gasworks to be transformed into 1,200 home neighbourhood complete with a 33-storey tower |last=Griffiths |first=Niall |date=19 November 2020 |work=Manchester Evening News |access-date=1 March 2023}}{{cite web|url=https://www.constructionenquirer.com/2021/06/04/manchester-400m-gasworks-new-town-approved/|title=Manchester £400m gasworks new town approved|last=Morby|first=Aaron|website=Construction Enquirer|access-date=1 March 2023}}

Timeline

=Timeline of tallest buildings and structures=

After a period after the 1960s building boom where few new significant buildings were built in Greater Manchester, the early 21st century has seen a long list of proposals meaning the skyline has been transformed in recent decades. The first towers over {{cvt|100|m}} were the CIS Tower and the City Tower, the former of which kept the title of tallest building in Greater Manchester for 41 years until the Beetham Tower was completed in 2006. In 2018, Deansgate Square South Tower became the tallest building in Greater Manchester and the tallest in the United Kingdom outside London.
