Beetham Tower, Skyscraper in Deansgate, Manchester, England.
Beetham Tower is a skyscraper in Deansgate, Manchester, England, with 47 floors above ground made from glass and concrete. The floor plan is elongated and a 4-meter cantilever extends on the north side.
This building was completed in 2006 and remained the tallest structure outside London in the United Kingdom until 2018. That ranking shows how Manchester expanded its skyline during the early 2000s.
This structure combines residences and the Hilton Manchester Deansgate hotel and shows how the city brings living space and tourism together in one building. The dual use reflects how Manchester blends different functions in its modern skyline.
Eight elevators serve the building and connect hotel guests on floors 1 to 22 with residents on floors 25 to 47. Visitors can reach the hotel area while the residential section remains private.
The glass blade at the top produces an audible sound during strong winds that spreads across the Manchester city center. This acoustic phenomenon is especially noticeable during storms and has been remarked upon by many residents in the area.
