It has been a very mixed news week for Eastside development wise.
Bad news: we have lost our 46 storey tower at Exchange Square which has been replaced by two towers of 34 and 30 storeys plus a 14-storey Premier Inn. There are currently only basic drawings of this but they look very poor. The hotel element has very few windows. Hopefully this is not the final design that will be in the application, which we should see soon.
Good news: Some outline planning for the Martineau Galleries masterplan has also been submitted and it provides for buildings with a maximum of 50 storeys in height, so this could potentially be the focal point height wise for people arriving on HS2 instead of Exchange Square 2 as we thought at first.
Not so good news: the target completion date is in the 2030s!
Thanks for the info jfy and as for Exchange Square Phase 2, I'd rather them not bother and leave it upto a developer who gives Birmingham a first class development. As you say the Hotel has very few windows and looks appalling.
I'm so embarrassed about it hence lack of Pictures.
Makes you wonder how developed these plans were since the previous renders of the 40+ floor tower were more detailed than these new ones. Why couldn't they just keep that design and have say the upper floors apartments whilst the lower floors were the hotel?
Why do all depictions of high rise buildings show the top looking much wider than the base?
I think it looks awful!

Birmingham, like it's airport, has often promised the world but consistently failed to deliver and past history is littered with amazing projects that go on to fester for a couple of years before reappearing as something shambolic.
What are the realistic chances of this one actually coming off without being reduced to something below 100m?
