If you have been to Manchester, UK then you will have seen our greatest landmark – the Beetham Tower.

The Tower first appeared on the mancunian skyline in 2006 and now manchester will never be the same again. I often stare up in awe as i make my small commute to the office.
Some key stats to keep you happy:
- number of floors in the Beetham tower = 47
- Height of the Beetham Tower = 168.87 meters
- Who designed it? = Ian Simpson
- How much did it cost? = £150 million
One interesting fact about the Beetham Tower is that the architect managed to grab himself the top 3 floors to make his penthouse apartment. The triple floored apartment includes a vineyard and 23 metre lemon and lime trees that had to be craned in during the construction process.
