Birmingham Plans to Construct the City’s Tallest Skyscraper

Local movers are getting their moving trucks ready for the influx of new residents that are expected to move to Birmingham once the construction of a new downtown office complex is completed. What is predicted to be the tallest skyscraper that the city has ever seen, plans were recently submitted to build a 346 foot office block at 103 Colmore Row. This would mean the demolition of the NatWest Tower, and the construction of a completely new tower.

Currently on the desk awaiting approval by Birmingham City Council, Sterling Property Ventures and Rockspring were the developers who constructed the plan to tear down the 1970s building that has been vacant since 2003.

Since the current office tower does not do much for the city as is, Birmingham moving companies and residents alike, are hoping that the construction of the new office tower will draw more residents to the downtown area and make the city more appealing for business.

However, managing director of Sterling Property Ventures James Howarth, explains that their goal is not to appeal only to large business, but rather, “We are keen it becomes a destination for the people of Birmingham. The winter garden and skyline restaurant mean it will be accessible to all.”

Eric Linden, European director at Rockspring, said: “It’s our first investment in Birmingham and we are really proud of it. It is an elegant, modern building, symbolic of the city’s ongoing regeneration.”

If Birmingham City Council passes the proposal, the tallest office tower / skyscraper is said to be completed by 2018.
