The £30m 203 ft tall BT Tower, the corporate headquarters for BT Northern Ireland, was completed in 1998. The tower has 14 floors and one basement floor designed to accommodate BT staff who were previously based in five office blocks at various locations in the city centre. Staff were transferred from buildings such as Churchill House, Dial House and Centre House between October and Christmas 1998 and around 1,200 staff are now employed in the building.

It was also disclosed at the ceremony that the 203ft high building would become known as the Riverside Tower after consultation with staff for a suitable name for their new home.
