Well, as the thread suggests, it's on Church Street, which is a road that come off Colmore Row towards the Jewelry Quarter, near St Philip's Cathedral. It should be marked on the excellent map in the Birmingham Development List thread

This is my next most anticipated project after Snow Hill - I think it looks quite classy.

Yeah, and it should make a noticeable impact on the skyline from some vantage points.

I agree with Woody. Considering how slow it was at the beginning, it shot up in the blink of an eye. When is it expected to be completed?
