  • This list of the tallest buildings and structures in Liverpool ranks high-rise structures in Liverpool, England, by height (buildings in the wider Liverpool Urban Area are listed separately within the article). The tallest building in Liverpool is currently the 40-storey West Tower, which rises 134 metres (440 ft) on Liverpool's waterfront. It is also the tallest habitable building in the United Kingdom outside of London and Manchester. Liverpool is a city undergoing mass regeneration, with older buildings being demolished to make way for new developments. During the mid-2000s, ten 1960s apartment blocks over 50 metres (164 ft) tall in the city were demolished. The history of tall buildings and structures in Liverpool began in 1911, with the completion of the Royal Liver Building. Standing at 98 metres (322 ft) tall, it was widely reported to be Britain's first skyscraper. This period marked the pinnacle of Liverpool's economic success, when it regarded itself as the "second city" of the British Empire. In 1965, its 54-year reign as the tallest building in Liverpool came to an end with the completion of the Radio City Tower. At 125 metres (410 ft), it originally housed a revolving restaurant and then, since 2000, a radio station. In 2008, the Radio City Tower was topped by Beetham Organization's West Tower. A masterplan, envisioned by Peel Holdings, to redevelop Liverpool's north docks, named Liverpool Waters, was launched in 2006 and received Government backing in 2013; it includes proposals for multiple high-rise buildings that will considerably change the city's skyline over the next few decades. The first building of the project began construction in 2018. By far the tallest building ever envisaged for Liverpool was Otterspool Tower at 305 metres (1,001 ft) and 79 storeys. However, the 1998 proposal was never built. Other 50+ storey high designs that never materialised include the 2007 proposals of Shanghai Tower at 200 metres (656 ft) and King Edward Tower at 170 metres (558 ft) tall, Brunswick Quay at 166 metres (545 ft), proposed in 2005, and the original 1925 design for Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral at 158 metres (518 ft).
