Looks really nice but I'd prefer it to be taller maybe a nice 70m

It would be good to see the Vesey street student block underway too, to bring the area back to life.

I no, I go past everyday on my way to work and I can not wait for the day I go past and finally see that mountain of mud shifted. This is ok, should add a bit more density.

Yeah but Bagot Street accommodation is closer to Newtown. And one of the best developments in Birmingham, Crocodile Works is in Newtown too.

I just don't think Students need big towers like that to cast themselves off the top on a drunken night.

[sefton66]

diggers and a piling rig on site woody, when I'm next going past I'll take a diversion and get a few pics

[nigeman]

This as been an amazing turnaround from the first visuals we saw to diggers on site...unless I missed something some 3 months or so??
Just wish all the proposals we had seen had worked out this quick, with everything in place, we would now be relishing V, Regal and Snowhill 3 and 4..
