The lantern-shaped glass and steel viewing platform was built on the ground and lifted into place by a 300t mobile crane.
It will sit on the new Theatre Tower, which has been constructed over the last nine months.
The structure was inspired by the original Memorial Theatre water tower, which was destroyed by fire in 1926.
Mace is the construction manager for the project. Bennetts Associates is the architect behind the design.
