Top 10 Developments in City Centre - Great Northern Tower

One of only three apartment blocks on Deansgate, Manchester’s most famous street, the Great Northern Tower is one of the city’s landmark glass towers. This imposing 23-storey contemporary building offers full-height windows, glass fronted balconies and panoramic views across the city centre.

There is a wide-variety of styles, from compact 1-bedroom units on the lower floors to bright 2-bedroom corner units from levels 1 to 20 and a number of large duplexes and penthouses on the three top floors. There are two sections to the Great Northern Tower; a large 23-storey tower and a smaller 15-storey block.

The tower has the best views, but the smaller block has some of the most interesting apartments; the large sloping roof hides a number of hidden private west-facing terraces and the lower-floor units have lovely street views across to the historic Grade-II listed Great Northern Warehouse. There is an imposing double-height foyer with designer fitting and trendy carpet and a large number of underground car parking spaces.

The location is very central with Deansgate one on side of the block and GMEX, Bridgewater Hall and the famous Midland Hotel on the other side. If you are looking to buy an apartment, the Great Northern tower is one of the most affordable landmark blocks in Manchester; 1-bedroom apartments can be bought from as little as £125,000 and 2-bedroom less than £175,000, although rental prices remain high with very few two-bedrooms for less than £850pcm.
