Office tower in Central Birmingham receives planning permission

Plans to build the tallest office tower in Birmingham have recently been approved by Birmingham City Council, a recent news report in the local business media has been able to reveal.

The Birmingham City Council approved plans to demolish a 22-storey, 1970s-built NatWest Tower, which has been unoccupied since 2003, and replace it with a new £60m 26-storey building.

At 346 feet high and the apex standing at 246 metres above sea level, the new tower will be the tallest office building under construction in the UK outside London. Designed by Doone Silver Architects, it will comprise 200,000 sq ft of Grade A office space over 19 floors with floorplates of up to 12,000 sq ft.

Work on erecting the new tower will begin in summer 2016, creating 500 construction jobs. The project is due for completion by summer 2018.
