St Paul's Tower (also called the ''City Lofts Tower'' or the ''Conran Tower'') and St Paul's View, is an upscale residential development completed in April 2011 situated in the city centre of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. The scheme consists of a 32 storey tower called St Paul's Tower, which is primarily faced with glass, along with a 9 storey block called St Paul's View, which is primarily faced with glass, sandstone and bronze. They are linked at the bottom by one floor of retail space and a roof terrace atop the retail building. It fronts onto two new squares, Millennium Square and St Paul's Place, part of a new bar and restaurant district. The towers and associated squares form part of the St Paul's Place development, which also includes three other office blocks, a multi-storey car park and a casino, and faces onto Hallam Square, less than from Sheffield railway station. They represent just one element of the wider regeneration of the area around Sheffield Town Hall, known as the Heart of the City Project. The tower became the tallest building in Sheffield when completed in August 2010, at , overtaking the Arts Tower by , although the base of the Arts Tower is approximately higher above sea level than the base of St Pauls tower, meaning the roof of the Arts Tower is still higher by around than the roof of St Pauls tower. The tower and its smaller neighbour provides private apartments for city centre living, with retail on the ground-floor of the tower, facing Arundel Gate and restaurants on the upper-ground floor of St Paul's View, facing St Paul's Place. ==Development== Planning permission for the project was first granted in October 2005, with excavation work beginning in May 2006 and construction officially commencing in May 2007. The construction process of the development was originally due to be completed by late 2008. The development includes a total of 316 one and two-bedroom apartments located in two linked towers of 32 and 9 storeys. The project's design is conservatively modern, complementing the surrounding buildings such as the adjacent Grade I listed Town Hall and the modern Winter Garden.
