List of tallest buildings and structures in the Birmingham Metropolitan Area, West Midlands

This list of the tallest buildings and structures in the Birmingham Metropolitan Area, West Midlands ranks buildings and free-standing structures by height, based on standard height measurements that include spires and architectural details but exclude extraneous elements added after completion of the building. Guyed and self-supporting communication masts are not included.

Viewed from the west, Birmingham's skyline is dominated by the newly constructed Mercian tower. (January 2021).
The view from Snowhill to the north west features BT Tower, the tallest structure in the region. (April 2015).

The tallest habitable building in the metropolitan area is the 132-metre (433 ft) Mercian residential tower, located in Birmingham's Westside district. The tallest structure, also in Birmingham, is the 152-metre (499 ft) BT Tower. Both are set to be surpassed by Octagon, a 155-metre (509 ft) residential tower currently under construction in Birmingham City Centre.

Birmingham Metropolitan Area

Map of the Birmingham Metropolitan Area

The Birmingham Metropolitan Area is an urban agglomeration located in the West Midlands region of England with a population of around 3.8 million people, making it the second largest metropolitan area in the United Kingdom.[1] It comprises the three cities (Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton) and four metropolitan boroughs (Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall) which make up the Metropolitan county of the West Midlands, along with its commuter zones, which extend into the neighbouring district authorities of Bromsgrove and Redditch in Worcestershire; Cannock Chase, Lichfield, South Staffordshire and Tamworth in Staffordshire; and all five district authorities of Warwickshire, including the towns of Bedworth, Coleshill, Nuneaton, Royal Leamington Spa, and Warwick itself. Each of these authorities has at least one tall building or structure.[2]

A number of sizeable settlements fall outside the morphological boundaries of the Birmingham Metropolitan Area but still form part of its economic and infrastructural hinterland.[3][4][5][6] Amongst these, the cathedral city of Lichfield, the towns of Cannock, Hednesford and Rugeley in Staffordshire, Rugby and Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire, and Kidderminster in the Wyre Forest District of Worcestershire. For completeness, the tall buildings and structures in these places are included in the listings below but, for accuracy, are not designated a metropolitan area ranking.

Like other regional conurbations in the United Kingdom, the Birmingham Metropolitan Area is polycentric, with several Primary Urban Areas and satellite towns overlaying traditional market towns and civil parishes, separated by areas of protected green space. This is reflected in a diverse urban landscape characterised by examples of Medieval, Tudor, Jacobean, English Baroque, Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian, Modern, Postmodern and Contemporary architecture. Each of these architectural periods is represented by at least one tall building or structure.

All of the listings on this page are colour coded according to the authority in which they are located, based on the map of the Birmingham Metropolitan Area. The map can be used to find the authority for each entry and, where the building or structure is not located in a city centre, its district, town or parish.

City of Birmingham

Birmingham has more than 375 high-rise buildings (>35 metres) within its city boundaries, making it the most built-up city in the United Kingdom outside of London.[7][2][8] It is home to the majority of the tallest buildings and structures in the West Midlands region.

The city currently has seven structures completed at a height of 100 metres or more and a further three under construction, with eight of these being habitable. This is the third highest number of completed or under construction tall structures (≥100m) of any city in the United Kingdom, after London (139) and Manchester (15).[9][10]

The skyline of Birmingham viewed from the north, September 2020. Completed in 2021, the 108-metre office building 103 Colmore Row is located directly ahead, with 122-metre 10 Holloway Circus visible behind. Directly to the west, 152-metre BT Tower and 100-metre Alpha Tower, the latter set to be obscured by the 49-storey, 155-metre Octagon when construction begins in 2022. Further to the west, adjacent to 102-metre Bank II Tower, the 132-metre Mercian Tower can be seen under construction. To the east, the mid-rise cluster at Snowhill partially obscures the Rotunda, whilst another emergent cluster to the far east includes 111-metre Exchange Square Tower, currently on the rise behind Exchange Square 1.

History

The first structure to reach a height of 100 metres was the Joseph Chamberlain Memorial Clock Tower, constructed in 1908 and located in the Edgbaston area of the city. It remains the tallest free-standing clock tower in the world.[11]

Further high-rise construction in Birmingham did not begin until the post war redevelopment of the 1960s and 1970s, when more than 25 commercial buildings taller than 50 metres were erected within the city centre and westwards along Broad Street to Five Ways and Hagley Road. Two further structures over 100 metres were built during this period – the 152-metre BT Tower, which remains the tallest structure in Birmingham, and the 100-metre, Grade II listed Alpha Tower. Other notable office buildings included Quayside Tower and Metropolitan House, both designed by John Madin and since refurbished. This era also saw more than 150 residential tower blocks of between 12 and 32 storeys built in clusters around the periphery of the city centre and throughout its suburbs.[12] The majority of these Brutalist buildings were of limited architectural merit and have since been demolished, although some examples remain.[13]

High rise development slowed during the 1980s and 1990s, with few significant proposals emerging, but the turn of the 21st century saw a renewed interest in high rise construction in central Birmingham. Completed in 2006, the 122-metre 10 Holloway Circus became the tallest habitable building in the city, while the Brindleyplace canalside development yielded a cluster of mid-rise office buildings adjacent to the International Convention Centre and Birmingham Indoor Arena.

However, in the wake of the September 11 attacks, regulations imposed by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and Birmingham City Council’s own ‘High Places’ planning policy framework restricted new buildings to a maximum height of around 120 metres, stymieing a number of appreciably taller proposals.[14][15] These included the 245-metre Arena Central Tower, which at the time was set to become the tallest building in the United Kingdom. A number of subsequent proposals, including revised plans for a 152-metre V-shaped building at Arena Central, the 201-metre Regal Tower, and the 130-metre twin towers proposed for the New Street Station Gateway Plus project, succumbed to the global financial crisis and were either scaled back or scrapped.[16][17]

Consequently, Birmingham’s most iconic 21st century buildings, including the Selfridges Building, Grand Central Station and the Library of Birmingham, are under 100 metres tall.

Present and future developments

In recent years the City Council has sought to encourage large-scale development, and a raft of tall buildings have been approved for construction across the City Centre Core and all six of Birmingham’s City Centre QuartersWestside, Eastside, Digbeth, Southside, the Jewellery Quarter and the Gun Quarter. These developments include the first four habitable skyscrapers in Birmingham and will form a number of tower clusters across the city centre.

Already home to some of the city's tallest buildings, the City Centre Core will see several tall developments in the coming years, including the 155-metre Octagon tower at the Paradise redevelopment site, which is currently under construction. When completed, Octagon will become the world's tallest octagonally-shaped residential building.[18] Octagon will be near neighbour to the newly completed 103 Colmore Row (108 metres), which is the tallest dedicated office building to be constructed outside of London since Alpha Tower was completed in 1973.[19] To the east of Colmore Row, the city’s retail zone is set to be reshaped by Hammerson’s mixed-use Martineau Galleries scheme, incorporating a third tower in excess of 100 metres in height.[20]

In Westside, Moda Living’s 132-metre Mercian residential tower was completed in 2022 and became the tallest habitable building in Birmingham. It could be surpassed by the 193-metre 100 Broad Street residential skyscraper which, if built, would become the second tallest regional building in the United Kingdom.[21] However, the viability of this project is currently unclear. Other significant schemes in Westside include the recently completed 102-metre Bank Tower II, under construction Cortland Broad Street (111 metres), and Axis (100 metres), which will extend the densification of new commercial buildings around Centenary Square.[22][23]

The Eastside district will become home to One Eastside, a 155-metre residential skyscraper which is due for completion in 2024 and will form part of the gateway to Birmingham’s new HS2 railway station at Curzon Street.[24] This tower will be joined by two more approved residential towers – the 123-metre tower at Glasswater Locks and 111-metre Exchange Square tower, which is currently under construction.[25][26] Extending outwards from the Gun Quarter, the £360m Curzon Wharf masterplan, intended to be the world's first net zero carbon mixed-use development, includes proposals for two more towers, the tallest of which will rise to 172 metres.[27]

To the South East of the City Centre Core, swathes of Digbeth are scheduled to be redeveloped, with towers including the 146-metre Tower Leaf and 102-metre Upper Trinity Street Tower already approved.[28][29][30] At least one more tall tower is anticipated to anchor the vast Smithfield site.[31] which will link Digbeth to Southside and another cluster of approved towers in and around the city's Gay Village and Chinese Quarter.[32][33][34] For nearby Holloway Circus, plans have been submitted for a 52-storey, 170-metre skyscraper dubbed 'Act One. Chung Ying Plaza', the first of up to ten tall towers expected to transform Smallbrook Queensway in the forthcoming years.[35]

Meanwhile, to the north west of the City Centre Core, Moda Living’s approved 126-metre tower on Great Charles Street will form a landmark gateway to St Paul’s Square and the Jewellery Quarter, while at the same time marking the beginning of a high-rise convergence with the commercial district of Snowhill.[36]

If all future approved, proposed and emergent projects come to fruition, Birmingham's skyline will comprise more that 500 high rise buildings and structures (>35m), including six skyscrapers above 150 metres and a further 21 towers above 100 metres.

3=Birmingham3=Arena Central TowerOffice17557450Westside2007The Arena Central project was originally masterplanned by HOK International in 1998. The plan called for a landmark 50-storey tower of around 245 metres (805 feet) in height, always intended to be built as one of the latter phases of the scheme. In the aftermath of the World Trade Center attack and after considering market forces, the developers removed 15-storeys from the planned tower. Superseded by the V Building proposal.[344]
BirminghamThe Birmingham PinnacleObservation Tower175574Eastside2008The Pinnacle was proposed as Europe's first vertical theme park. It would have provided a range of theme park rides, an observation deck, restaurants, shops, bars and leisure facilities. Superseded by VTP200.[345]
5Birmingham5Bull Ring TowerOffice16052535City Centre1990Developed by London and Edinburgh Trust and designed by Chapman Taylor were plans that surfaced continuously between 1987 and 1990 for the redevelopment of the Bull Ring Shopping Centre in Birmingham and the demolition of the Rotunda. In the place of the Rotunda was to stand a 160 metre tall office block, a Post Modern design with Art Deco hints of a similar manner to One Liberty Place in Philadelphia. The recession at the start of the 1990s however saw the plans fail to come to fruition and the Rotunda was later listed and restored.[346]
6Birmingham6103 Colmore RowOffice16052535Colmore Business District2008In December 2006 a planning application was submitted to demolish the National Westminster Tower at 103 Colmore Row and replace it with a 35-storey office building. The proposal received planning permission from Birmingham City Council in September 2008 but due to the effects of the financial crisis of 2007–2008 the scheme was never progressed. In 2014 the building was sold and new plans were submitted for the now completed 103 Colmore Row.[347]

An exception is St Peter’s High Cross, also known as the Wolverhampton Pillar, the shaft of a highly decorated Anglian High cross which still stands in its original location in the churchyard of St Peter's Collegiate Church. It is a scheduled ancient monument.[420]

c.1066 – c.1189WarwickSt Mary’s Church, StoneleighPlace of worship~15~49c.1180Located in the small village of Stoneleigh-in-Arden in Warwickshire, 4.5 miles (7.25 km) south of Coventry, Grade I listed Church of St Mary is one of several surviving Norman churches in the region. Built in the late 1100s, it is ambitious for its date, with its red sandstone ashlar chancel, nave and west tower. Nearby St. Mary's Church in Cubbington is of a similar age and size.[421]
Fortifiedc.1066 – c.1485WarwickWarwick CastleCastle44144c.1360Warwick Castle was established by William the Conqueror in 1068. Originally a motte-and-bailey castle, it was replaced by a stone keep during the reign of King Henry II (1154–1189) and later fortified by Thomas Beauchamp, 11th Earl of Warwick (1330–1360) with a gatehouse, barbican, and two main towers. Ceaser's Tower is the taller of the two towers, although Guy's Tower appears more prominent on the skyline due to its elevated setting. At a height of 44 metres (144 feet), it makes Warwick Castle the tallest medieval castle in the UK.[422]
Early English Gothicc.1189 – c.1307BirminghamSt Laurence's ChurchPlace of Worship~14~46c.1230Grade I listed Church of St Laurence in Northfield dates from the 12th century and contains some of the finest Early English work in the West Midlands.[423]
Decorated Gothicc.1307 – c.1377WolverhamptonSt Peter's ChurchPlace of worship37120c.1350St Peter’s Church is built of red sandstone on an elevated site in the centre of the city. The oldest part of the building above ground is the crossing under the tower, which probably dates from around 1200. Much of the Church was rebuilt and extended in the 14th century, in a Decorated style, with the upper part of the tower being rebuilt from about 1475 to a height of 37 metres (120 feet). It remained the tallest building in Wolverhampton until the completion of St John’s Church in 1776.[424]
Perpendicular Gothicc.1377 – c.1547CoventryThe Cathedral Church of Saint MichaelRuin88289c1425The Old Cathedral Church of St Michael's was a 14th-century Gothic church designed in the perpendicular style. It was one of the largest parish churches in England when, in 1918, it was elevated to cathedral status on the creation of the Diocese of Coventry. This cathedral now stands ruined, having been bombed during World War II, but the spire remains the tallest in Coventry and the third tallest in England.[425]
Vernacularc.1450 – c.1630SandwellOak House, West BromwichHouse / Museum~13~42c.1620Many of the finest examples of late medieval half-timbering in the region can be found in and around Solihull and Warwick. However, the unusual prospect tower atop Grade II* listed Oak House in West Bromwich elevates the height of this former yeoman’s house above its better-known peers. Restored in 1898, the house is now run as a museum.[426]
1485 – 1603TudorEarly Tudor (transitional)c.1485 – c.1560Stratford-upon-AvonCoughton CourtCountry House~20~661536Coughton Court is an English Tudor country house situated on the main road between Studley and Alcester in Warwickshire, built between 1509–1536. It is a Grade I listed building. The house has a long crenellated façade directly facing the main road, at the centre of which is the Tudor Gatehouse, dating from after 1536; this has hexagonal turrets and oriel windows in the English Renaissance style. The Gatehouse is the oldest part of the house and is flanked by later wings.[427]
Fortified (Tudor)c.1485 – c.1603WarwickLeicester’s GatehouseCastle18591571Leicester's Gatehouse is one of the few parts of Kenilworth castle to remain completely intact. It was built by Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester to provide a fashionable entrance to the castle from the direction of Coventry. The external design, with its three-storey stone tower and four octagonal corner turrets, echoes the medieval fortified style popular a century or more before, while the interior is designed in the Elizabethan fashion of the time.[428]
Elizabethanc.1547 – c.1603Stratford-upon-AvonCharlecote ParkCountry House~16~521558Charlecote Park is located on the banks of the River Avon in the village of Charlecote, on the border between Stratford-upon-Avon and Warwick districts. It was built in 1558 by Sir Thomas Lucy, and although the house was modified by successive generations of the Lucy family, the outline of the original Elizabethan house remains. It is a fine example of an Elizabethan prodigy house and a Grade I listed building.[429]
1603 – 1714StuartJacobeanc.1603 – c.1630BirminghamAston HallProdigy House / Museum~23~751635Designed by John Thorpe and built between 1618 and 1635 for Sir Thomas Holte, Grade I listed Aston Hall is one of the last great Jacobean prodigy houses and the largest of its type in the region. Located two miles to the north of Birmingham city centre in Aston Park, it is now a community museum and visitor attraction managed by the Birmingham Museums Trust.[430]
Post-medieval Gothic (incl. Gothic Survival; Gothic-Renaissance)c.1600 – c.1820WarwickCollegiate Church of St MaryPlace of worship531741704Although classically inspired architecture began to supplant Gothic in the 17th century, some regional architects continued to work in Gothic styles, employing traditional gothic designs or fusing gothic features with the classical zeitgeist. The Collegiate Church of St Mary is an outstanding example of the latter, rebuilt in 1704 in a Gothic-Renaissance style following the Great Fire of Warwick in 1693. The building was designed by William Wilson and may have been supervised by Sir Christopher Wren. Its unique 53-metre tower is gothic in appearance but incorporates classical detailing.[431]
Early English Classical (incl. Cromwellian)c.1625 – c.1660RedditchNorgrove CourtCountry House~15~491649Norgrove Court is one of a number of classically influenced houses built across the region prior to the Restoration period of 1660. It features sandstone ashlar dressings, a hipped roof with dormer windows, and rows of sash-window bays in a quasi-Mannerist style. The vast central chimney stack raises the overall height of the building above similar houses of the period, for example Blyth Hall in Warwickshire. It is the only Grade I-listed building in the district of Redditch.[432]

(Restoration)
c.1660 – c.1690Stratford-upon-AvonRagley HallCountry House~22~721683Ragley Hall is located near Alcester, around 8km south of Redditch. It was designed for Edward Conway, 1st Earl of Conway by Roger or William Hurlbut circa 1677 and modified by the scientist and amateur architect Dr Robert Hooke in 1678. The mansion comprises a double-pile house with corner pavilions and a full-height portico supported on Ionic columns. It is a Grade I listed building and the ancestral seat of the Marquess of Hertford.[433]
English Baroquec.1690 – c.1730BirminghamCathedral Church of St PhilipPlace of worship401311715The Cathedral Church of Saint Philip is the Church of England cathedral and the seat of the Bishop of Birmingham, having been granted cathedral status in 1905. Built between 1711 and 1715, it was the city's tallest building for 52 years, until it was supplanted by the 58 metre (190 feet) spire of Parish Church of SS Peter and Paul in 1777. It is a Grade I listed building.<ref"St Philip's Cathedral". Skyscraperpage.com. Retrieved 8 September 2011.</ref>
1714 – 1837GeorgianNeo-Palladianc.1715 – c.1760BromsgroveHagley HallCountry House~23~761760The fashion for Neo-Palladian houses started in London around 1720 and spread to the provinces in the years that followed. Designed by Sanderson Miller for George Lyttelton, 1st Baron Lyttelton, Hagley Hall was built between 1754 and 1760, and has been described as the last of England’s great Palladian houses. Notable Neo-Palladian features include the Venetian windows and the corner towers with pyramidal roofs, which have since been restored. It is a Grade I listed building.[434]
Georgian Neoclassicalc.1750 – c.1840WolverhamptonChurch of St John in the SquarePlace of worship501641776St. John's Church is a Grade II* listed Church of England parish church, built between 1758 and 1776 in the neoclassical style. It is the second oldest church in Wolverhampton City Centre and the first to be built within its own square. It is believed Roger Eykyn, who was the building contractor, used the design as a model for St. Paul's Church in Birmingham, which was built between 1777 and 1779. However, the lofty spire of St. John’s is marginally the taller of the two.[435]
Early Gothic Revival (incl. ‘Strawberry Hill’ Gothic; Gothick)c.1750 – c.1810Nuneaton and BedworthArbury HallCountry House~12~391803Arbury Hall was originally a three-storey Elizabethan house built on the site of the 12th-century Augustinian Priory of Arbury. In 1750, then owner Sir Roger Newdigate began major alterations to the property in the 18th-century Gothic Revival style, which continued until his death in 1806. The refronted mansion incorporates crenellated parapets with pinnacle finials, traceried windows and other gothic ornaments typical of the ‘Strawberry Hill Gothic’ style. It is a Grade I listed building.[436]
Regency (Classical Revival)c.1810 – c.1840WarwickParade, Royal Leamington SpaResidential~20~661810–1840The mineral spring bathhouses of Royal Leamington Spa became fashionable during the Regency era and this is reflected in the classical architecture of the town. Many of its grandest stucco-fronted Regency buildings are located on the main thoroughfare, Parade, although similarly proportioned residential terraces can be found around the town, including Grade II* listed Royal Terrace (formerly Newbold Terrace) and Lansdowne Circus.[437]
Greek Neoclassicalc.1810 – c.1880BirminghamSt Thomas' ChurchRuin~40~1311829St Thomas’ was a Commissioners' church constructed between 1826 and 1829. At the time it was the largest church in Birmingham. Although architect Thomas Rickman was noted for his contribution to Gothic revivalism, St Thomas’ neoclassical design took its cues from Greek revivalism, typical of the Regency period. In 1940, the building was largely destroyed during the Birmingham Blitz. The remaining portico and tower, rising to 40 metres, have been preserved and form part of St. Thomas' Peace Garden.[438]
Regency (Medieval Revival)c.1810 – c.1840BirminghamSt Mary's College, OscottEducation~26~851838Grade II* listed St Mary's College is the Roman Catholic seminary of the Archdiocese of Birmingham. It was designed by Joseph Potter of Lichfield and built between 1835 and 1838. The tudor building envisaged by Potter was supplemented by the decorative input of Augustus Pugin, forming a unique combination of medieval and Gothic Revival architecture in red brick and stone. This fusion of styles marks a step change from the early Gothic Revival of the Georgian era to the High Victorian Gothic of the mid-to-late 19th century.[439]
1837 – 1901VictorianRomanesque Revivalc.1840 – c.1925Nuneaton and BedworthBedworth Water TowerWater Tower451481898This Grade II listed former water tower was built in 1898 provide the people of Bedworth with clean drinking water. Designed in a simplified Romanesque style, its six high-storey bond brick tower and steep pagoda-style roof make it the tallest free-standing structure in the Nuneaton and Bedworth district. In 2015 the tower was sold to be converted into luxury apartments, but development is yet to begin.[440]
Victorian Gothic Revival (incl. Early English; Decorated; Perpendicular)c.1840 – c.1900BirminghamSt Martin’s in the BullringPlace of worship612001855St Martin in the Bull Ring is the original parish church of Birmingham and stands between the Bull Ring Shopping Centre and the markets. The present Victorian Gothic church was rebuilt by architect J. A. Chatwin on the site of a 13th-century predecessor, although the eighteenth-century tower and spire were preserved. St Martin’s supplanted the Church of SS Peter & Paul in Aston as the tallest building in Birmingham, which it remained for 53 years.[441]
Renaissance Revival (incl. Italianate; Neo-Baroque)c.1850 – c.1890BirminghamBirmingham Museum and Art GalleryCivic building451481885Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery was built to extend the Council House, which had been completed in 1879. Designed by Yeoville Thomason, the building follows the Neo-Baroque design of the Council House, with entry through a two-storeyed portico with sculptured pediment. Directly to the left of the entrance is the 45-metre clock tower with tiled roof known locally as 'Big Brum'.[442]
High Victorian Gothic (Ruskinian Gothic) (incl. French and Italian styles)c.1850 – c.1880WolverhamptonSt Luke's ChurchPlace of worship521701861St Luke's Church is a Grade II* listed parish church designed in the Ruskinian style by G. T. Robinson of Leamington Spa, and consecrated by the Bishop of Lichfield on 18 July 1861. At 52 metres, its polychrome spire with Gothic detailing is the tallest structure of its type in the region, surpassing those exemplified by Martin & Chamberlain’s Birmingham Board Schools such as Oozells Street and Icknield Street.[443]
Eclecticc.1860 – c.1910BirminghamMethodist Central HallHall561311904Methodist Central Hall is a Grade II* listed red brick and terracotta building located at the northern end of Corporation Street. It was built between 1903 and 1904 to complement the Victoria Law Courts on the opposite side of the street, but unlike the Victorian-gothic courts is built in an eclectic style with baroque detailing, swinging voussoirs, paired ionic columns, domed corner turrets and a 56-metre tower rising to a square belfry. The main hall was designed to seat 2,000 people but the building has remained empty since 2015.[444]
British Arts and Crafts movement (incl. British Queen Anne Revival)c.1870 – c.1940BirminghamSt Agatha's ChurchPlace of worship371201901Designed by the noted Birmingham architect, William Bidlake, St Agatha’s church is an expression of the Arts & Crafts approach to Gothic architecture at the end of the 19th century, combining red and blue brick with decorative stone features. It is a Grade I listed building.[445]
Tudor Revival (incl. Old English; Mock Tudor; Tudorbethan)c.1890 – c.1920CoventryOld Council HouseGovernment~32~1051917The Grade II-listed Coventry Council House was designed in the Elizabethan style by Edward Garrett and Henry Walter Simister. The building is faced in stone and decorated with turrets and crenellations, oriel and bay windows, and a corner clock tower rising to a height of around 32 metres, making it the tallest example of Tudor Revival architecture in the region.[446]

Edwardian Baroque)c.1901 – c.1914BirminghamJoseph Chamberlain Memorial Clock TowerEducation1001311908Forming the centrepiece of Chancellor’s Court on the University of Birmingham’s main campus, “Old Joe” was designed by architects Aston Webb and Ingress Bell and constructed between 1900 and 1908, helping to popularise the term "Red Brick" university. The 100-metre campanile was modelled on the Torre del Mangia in Siena and remained the tallest building in Birmingham until 1965.[447]
1910 – 2000ModernIndustrialc.1910 – c.1950South StaffordshireBaggeridge Brick ChimneyChimney65213c.1937In 1937, Baggeridge Brickworks was built next to the Earl of Dudley's coal pits at Gospel End, Sedgely, and continued to manufacture bricks until its takeover by Wienerberger AG in 2007. The site has since been transformed into a craft village and residential development adjacent to Baggeridge Country Park, and the 65-metre (213 feet) chimney remains one of the few visual reminders of the area’s industrial past. It is the tallest structure of its type in the region.[448]
Art Decoc.1920 – c.1940BirminghamHeritage Building (Queen Elizabeth Hospital)Education~54~1771938The main building, including the clock tower, was constructed between 1933 and 1938 as a wing of the old Birmingham Queen Elizabeth Hospital. The new 600-bed Hospital Centre building was designed by architectural firm Lanchester and Lodge. Completed in 1938, the medical school building and hospital opened simultaneously.[145]
Functionalistc.1930 – c.1980BirminghamBT TowerCommunications Tower1524991965BT Tower is currently the tallest structure in Birmingham city centre. Construction of the tower commenced in July 1963 and was completed in September 1965. At one time the Post Office wanted to increase the height from 500 feet (150 m), which had been agreed by the Ministry of Aviation, to 600 feet (180 m), but this was refused to avoid non-standard procedures for aircraft on the approach to Birmingham Airport.[449]
International Stylec.1930 – c.1980BirminghamMcLaren BuildingOffice692261972The 21-storey McLaren Building characterises the rectangular footprint, box-shaped form and grid-like glass and steel facade of the post-war, international-style commercial high rise. Designed by Paul Bonham Associates and built in 1972 for HSBC, the thin, brown-tinted slab is currently the 21st tallest occupied building in Birmingham.[450]
Brutalistc.1950 – c.1980BirminghamCentre City TowerOffice762491975The tallest of several remaining Brutalist office buildings in the centre of Birmingham, Centre City was designed by Richard Seifert & Partners. The complex consists of two buildings, the Tower and the Podium. The Podium is a low-rise building that surrounds the Tower base, but (with the exception of fire escapes) there is no direct connection between the two. This arrangement means that the first floor of the Tower is at approximately seventh-floor level when compared with other buildings.[451]
Late Modernistc.1950 – c.1980BirminghamAlpha TowerOffice1003281973Alpha Tower is a Grade II listed office skyscraper designed by the Birmingham-born architect George Marsh of Richard Seifert & Partners and was the former headquarters of ATV (Associated Television). Marsh’s architectural influences are said to have included Le Corbusier, Oscar Niemeyer and the American architectural practice Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, marking a departure from the Brutalist movement of the time. Prior to the completion of 103 Colmore Row in 2021, Alpha Tower was the tallest commercial building in the city and one of only three commercial buildings outside of London to reach a height of 100 metres.[452]

c.1960 – PresentBirminghamInternational Convention Centre (ICC)Conference facility~25~821991The International Convention Centre (ICC) is a major conference venue owned and operated by the NEC Group. Designed by Percy Thomas Partnership, the main entrance is marked by blue-tinted windows and exposed stantions, while inside the building, connecting bridges and walkways criss-cross the atrium. The centre incorporates Symphony Hall, which has since been redesigned with a dedicated front entrance.[453]
1970 – PresentPostmodernInternational Postmodernc.1970 – c.2000BirminghamColmore GateOffice702301992One of the few tall buildings to be constructed in Birmingham during the 1980s and 1990s, Colmore Gate draws on Art Deco features within its postmodern aesthetic. Its glazed appearance bears a notable resemblance to Philip Johnson's PPG Place in Pittsburg.[454]
New Classical (Neotraditional; Neohistoric)c.1970 – PresentBirminghamThree BrindleyplaceMixed-use551801998Brindleyplace is a large mixed-use canalside development in the Westside district of Birmingham. A variety of architects were commissioned to design buildings in a range of architectural styles. Situated between the canal and Central Square, Three Brindleyplace was designed by Demetri Porphyrios, an exponent of New Classical Architecture, and this is reflected in the Venetian Palazzo-style facade of the building. Its 55-metre (180 feet) clock tower makes it the second tallest building in the complex.[455]
Deconstructivec.1980 – PresentBirminghamThe CubeMixed-use712312010The Cube is a 25-storey mixed-use development in the centre of Birmingham, designed by Ken Shuttleworth of Make Architects. In an ironic postmodern twist, the outer cladding – a kaleidoscope of glazed and gold colour anodised aluminium panels – obscures the fact that the building is not, in fact, cuboid, but a deconstructed crown sitting atop a glazed atrium.[456]
2000 – PresentContemporarySustainablec.2000 – PresentCoventryLanchester LibraryEducation~30~982000Opened in September 2000 on the Coventry University campus, the Frederick Lanchester Library is the largest deep-plan stack-ventilated building in Europe. The library, conceptualised by Short & Associates, is designed to maximise the use of natural daylight and features sustainable power and network infrastructures. The building’s 30-metre elevated air-conditioned vents are fundamental to its energy saving design.[457]
Biomorphicc.2000 – PresentBirminghamSelfridges BuildingRetail~35~1152003Designed by British-based Czech architect Jan Kaplický of (Future Systems), the iconic building is the part of the Bullring Shopping Centre that houses the Selfridges Department Store. It is one of the world's leading examples of "Blobitecture", a neofuturist architectural movement based on amoeba-shaped forms. Its biomorphic façade comprises 15,000 anodised aluminium discs mounted on a blue background.[458]
Modularc.2000 – PresentWolverhamptonVictoria HallStudent accommodation762492009Victoria Hall is a modular complex comprising four blocks of student accommodation, the tallest of which is 25 stories. When the building was completed in 2009, it held the world record for overall height and number of stories in a residential building constructed principally off-site. It remains the tallest modular structure in the Birmingham Metropolitan Area and the tallest habitable building in Wolverhampton.[459]
