Looks quality

The optimist in me can't wait to see this rise but the Brummie in me is dreading the three year wait followed by the inevitable massive scaling down to an insignificant stump

In other news the tallest tower at Exchange Square Phase 2 is 36 floors and 111 metres, still dont like the design though but a significant tower and next to One Eastside.

Ooooooooooh I love great density and Brum certainly has lots.

Mind you the Crown Plaza hotel is now rather hemmed in

3 Arena Central, fully let to HMRC

I love how Arena Central and Paradise are shaping up. The transformation of the whole area is already astonishing and it's far from done.

It can't be as bad as those awful Masshouse buildings

Eastside is getting some great tall buildings but I hope consideration is given to street level.

I think that would be Mrs F's worse nightmare.

The kids would love it though

Another proposal for Eastside, more details to follow

Thanks for the info Ray, as soon as I have read my daily FFA news, I will be making a connection with SSC to have a more detailed look at this new tower. It looks different that's for sure

Is everything inside the white canvas the slipform?

That will make for a very imposing core.

MODA and Apache propose £200m BTR scheme at Birmingham's "bomb site"

A planning app is expected within weeks

It would be great if someone could get the full text of the article as it's behind a paywall for me.

It would be great if someone could get the full text of the article as it's behind a paywall for me.

The full article has been posted on SSC, I'm not sure that I can copy it on to here.

For this development it says 'at least 600 flats in towers of up to 30 storeys'.

For elsewhere in the city it also mentions that 'Birmingham City Council is warming to high density resi schemes' and that 'towers of up to 60 storeys are in pre-application discussions'.

Planning app is in guys for Birmingham's first proper scraper.

ONE EASTSIDE

6.83 In terms of technical safeguarding, there are no issues owing to the bearing and
distance of the proposed development from Birmingham International Airport.
Airspace restrictions to aircraft altitude above the proposed development mean that
there is sufficient clearance above the development to maintain safety and regularity
of aircraft operations.
