Southgate Tower is a high-rise office building at 16333 Trenton Road in Southgate, Michigan. Since its completion, it has been the tallest building in the Downriver area of Wayne County, Michigan, as well as the tallest building between Detroit and Toledo, Ohio. A large portion of office space in the building was occupied by PNC Financial Services. Until October 18, 2013, a PNC Bank branch also operated in the building.[1] As of 2016, the entire structure is vacant and its future fate is unknown.

It was initially constructed in 1972 and completed in 1973 by Lincoln Park, Michigan-based Security Bank to house their headquarters. Since its completion, Southgate Tower's bank tenant has changed, first in the late 1980s to First of America Bank, then in 1997 to National City Bank and finally to PNC in early 2010.[2]

The office building is easily accessible from M-85 (Fort Street), as a driveway connects that road to the building's parking lot. Southgate Tower is easily visible from many locations in Southgate and adjacent communities.
