South Tower
Saint-Gilles, Belgium
The 765th tallest building in the world
The South Tower or Midi Tower (French: Tour du Midi; Dutch: Zuidertoren) is a 38-storey, 150 metres (490 ft) office skyscraper built between 1962 and 1967 in Brussels, Belgium. The tower is the tallest building in Belgium, and was the tallest in the European Economic Community (EEC) upon completion, until it was surpassed by Tour Montparnasse in Paris in 1972. The South Tower stands adjacent to Brussels-South railway station. The building's façade was reclad in 1995–96 with unitised glass panels using double glass solarbel silver, and it can accommodate about 2,500 office workers. It was built for the Belgian Federal Pensions Service (FPS), which still occupies it today, and it is thus often also called the Pensions Tower (French: Tour des Pensions; Dutch: Pensioentoren).
