Despite thorough rebuilding in the 1960s, further extensive development of the Bullring area has again been carried out in recent years. This telephoto view is from near the newly redeveloped New Street Station complex. Wikipedia informs us that: The Rotunda is a cylindrical high-rise building in Birmingham, England. The Grade II listed building is 81 metres (266 ft) tall and was completed in 1965. It was refurbished between 2004 and 2008 by Urban Splash with Glenn Howells who turned it into a residential building with serviced apartments on 19th and 20th floors. The building was officially reopened on 13 May 2008.
