Once complete, it will comprise of approx. 152,000ft2 of commercial office space, as well as 124 residential apartments, retail and leisure areas.

Regional director for Gleeds, Matthew Darby, said: "I'm extremely proud of the role Gleeds has played in supporting Salhia to get this important project for Birmingham and the Midlands off the ground - the formal signing of contracts means construction works can now officially get underway on site. The fact that we are celebrating this milestone is both a testament to Salhia’s commitment to the city and to the collaborative approach adopted by Midgard, despite a challenging economic backdrop."
