Planning permission has been granted for the UK’s first ‘super slender’ tower block in Birmingham.
The ‘211 Broad Street’ skyscraper will rise to 37-storeys, or 116m in height, but will be just 9.5m wide. The building will house an aparthotel featuring a bar, restaurant, gym and residents lounge.
The skyscraper block will be located near Brindley Place, one of the new stops on the West Midlands Metro extension and within easy walking distance of city centre Birmingham.
Construction is expected to be finished in 2022.
