Seen from Victoria Square, this telephoto assisted image shows the new tower block being constructed near the junction of Colmore Row with Newhall Street. The new skyscraper will be Birmingham's tallest office block, and is expected to be complete during 2020. It has been designed to replace John Madin’s NatWest Tower which was demolished between 2015-17. When completed, the 26 storey tower will be 346 feet (just over 105 metres) high.
