Located in the centre of
Birmingham, and on the northern
edge of the Paradise development,
Octagon’s statuesque, 49-storey
residential design will stand at
155 metres tall, making it the city’s
tallest building and twice the height
of the Statue of Liberty.

Hear from MEPC, the developer leading the creation of Birmingham’s tallest building – the Octagon.

New research shows that the future arrival of HS2 in the West Midlands is already driving huge investor confidence in the region, with data pointing to an economic uplift of £10billion over the next 10 years.

Economic analysis of the areas close to HS2’s three hubs in the West Midlands - Curzon Street Station in central Birmingham, Interchange Station in Solihull, and the Washwood Heath Depot and Network Integrated Control Centre - shows dramatic increases in regeneration and investment in the last six years.
