South Tower, Modern skyscraper in Saint-Gilles, Belgium.

The South Tower extends to a height of 150 meters with 38 floors above ground and 3 basement levels in the Saint-Gilles district of Brussels.

The construction of this office building started in 1962 and reached completion in 1967, making it the highest structure in the European Economic Community until 1972.

The tower functions as the central location for the Belgian Federal Pensions Service, managing retirement benefits for thousands of citizens across the country.

Located near Brussels-South railway station, the building contains 11 elevators and provides workspace for approximately 2,500 office employees throughout its floors.

The structure underwent a complete exterior transformation between 1995 and 1996, during which workers installed new glass panels across the entire facade.
