The unique build-to-rent tower will accommodate 370 spacious new homes – 218 one-, 144 two-, & 8 three-beds; 51.3–115 sqm; 30 affordable – while featuring eight identical facades to convey the purest form, punctuated by large windows offering uninterrupted views across the city.

Octagon will also be the first with a pressurised core, a class-leading safety feature, and a sprinkler system that extends to individual apartments.

A triple-height glazed base will host a range of retail, lounges, workspaces, a wellness hub, and a gym, along with c.225 bicycle spaces.

The Octagon seems to have stalled in terms of height with the concrete core waiting for the next tie of the cranes to the main structure, they have been extended now so we expect the core to start rising again soon, 17 to go!

Here is a selection of construction photos from December and January included in the main gallery for this feature project:

The Construction of the Octagon at Paradise - December 2022 Update

Post image

Big news for a big project!

The core is out of the ground and there are some outer columns installed, all now visable above the hordings around the site. The building will seem bulkier in the early stages of construction we think, until it gets above 100 metres when it will start to look much thiner but very tall!

The Construction of The Octagon - June 2022 Update

Post image

The demolition is almost complete at the site as the piling continues. The hordings around the construction are of a high quality and its imagery of the tower adds to some nice juxtapositions in these photos covering late April to mid-June. Some great unusual views of the Museum and Art Gallery are revealed too.

OCTAGON: World's Tallest Octagonal Skyscraper Set For Approval





Octagon is the world's tallest pure octagonal residential tower - and it's set to dominate the Birmingham skyline!

Plans go to Planning Committee on the 29th of April, at 11 am, with approval recommended.

Located within the highly sustainable Paradise Birmingham site, this original build to rent skyscraper will soar to 49 storeys tall (155m/ 510ft) and with it, will set a barometer for healthy, sustainable and quality new homes for the city.

The building will stand tall and proud as a signpost for the city, making the most of its location on the Birmingham ridge - a line of higher ground that stretches from Snow Hill to Five Ways along Colmore Row and Broad Street.

It'll provide 370 high-quality spacious one, two & three-bedroom apartments in a mixture of 218 one-bed (two persons), 144 two-bed (four persons) & 8 three-bedroom (six persons) units, with apartment sizes healthily ranging from 51.3- 115 sqm.

PUREST FORM - A WORLD'S FIRST

Designed by Birmingham-based architects, Glenn Howells, with landscaping coming from global landscaping firm, Grant Associates, Octagon will feature eight identical facades - conveying the purest octagonal form, with the building's frame punctuated by large horizontal windows opening up apartments to panoramic views of the city. 

With Council House, Alpha Tower, Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery (BMAG), and the Grade-I listed, Town Hall, all within close distance, the 'light champagne' finished exterior will give off a warm tone to reflect its grandiose surroundings, and this will also be echoed in the Octagon's subtle backlit crown, too.

30 affordable rented units are included, equating to just over 8% of the total number of apartments.

dndimg alt="" dndsrc="https://www.yourplaceyourspace.net/uploadedfiles/Octagonrenders%20(4).jpg" />

AMENITIES, RETAIL & CYCLES

Profiting from a triple-height glazed base, lower & upper ground floors floorspace will be home to retail, amenity, leisure and residential entrance spaces.

Amenities will comprise dining/ café, lounge areas, live/work meeting space, and wellness hub/gym supporting opportunities for healthy and active lifestyles.

Crucially, the new vibrant space will open up to a landscaped courtyard within Paradise - ultimately driving footfall through the evolving development.

dndimg alt="" dndsrc="https://www.yourplaceyourspace.net/uploadedfiles/Octagon%20Revisions%202021%20(2).jpg" />

Zero car parking spaces will be provided, however, four accessible spaces will be situated at ground level alongside an on-site cycle store containing 225 storage spaces.

A 550-space car park will be provided within the wider Paradise masterplan.

'PUBLIC BENEFITS'

The principle of development has been supported from the getgo, with the belief that Octagon is too good an opportunity to pass up on.

'Furthermore, the public benefits of the scheme demonstrably outweigh the less than substantial harm caused to the setting of nearby heritage assets. It is therefore considered that the development application is acceptable subject to completion of an s106 legal agreement and safeguarding conditions.' - Birmingham City Council Planning Officers.

DEMOLITION

77 Paradise Circus Queensway currently stands in the way of progression - this will be demolished and has been earmarked for a 2021 removal date once a contractor has been formally tendered & announced.

OCTAGON: Amendments to World's Tallest Octagonal Skyscraper





Octagon is the world's tallest pure octagonal residential tower - and it's set to dominate the Birmingham skyline!

Newly refined plans have gone in for this unique new skyscraper earmarked for Paradise - on the back of feedback from prospective contractors & investors. 


dndimg alt="" dndsrc="https://www.yourplaceyourspace.net/uploadedfiles/Octagon%20Revisions%202021%20(11).jpg" />

Soaring to 49 storeys tall (155m/ 510ft), this unique landmark build-to-rent skyscraper will set a new barometer for healthy, sustainable and quality new homes for the city.

Bouncing on to the scene in October 2020, Octagon is back with several key design & engineering refinements, following dialogue with planning officers, prospective contractors, and investors - one of which is said to be in advanced talks with Argent.

These amendments have resulted in Octagon becoming a much clearer building arrangement, driven by function & user requirements.

KEY REFINEMENTS

  1. Removal of plant space at level 1 & 27-28, alongside a reduction in plant space at the very top of the building. 
  2. ​The residential mix now aligns with prospective requirements from investors.
  3. Revised building entrances & a clear delineation between retail & amenity.

1: The removal of plant space has come following talks with prospective contractors.

An additional 24 apartments have replaced these spaces - further increasing the deliverability of the project. Octagon now provides 370 apartments.

All units, which range from 51.3-115sqm, all comfortably exceed the minimum National Space Standards & are still, by some distance, the largest in the city.

2: The prominent site is seen as an unparalleled opportunity at the ‘premium’ end of the market and is highly likely to appeal to single households and couples.

For that reason, all one-bed (one person) units have been scrapped in favour of a higher proportion of one-bedroom (two person) apartments.

The full mix comprises 218 one (two persons), 144 two (four persons), and 8 three-bedroom (6 person) premium apartments. 30 apartments (8.1%) will be allocated for affordable private rent.

3: Design development and feedback from investors’ has resulted in changes to the entrances and ground floor areas. The key changes will see:

  1. A new retail entrance off Great Charles Street;
  2. Grand residents’ entrance from Paradise Circus Queensway;
  3. Increased amenity floorspace & reconfigurations of both lower & upper ground floors;
  4. Dedicated cycle access provided off Paradise Circus;
  5. Taxi & drop-off access likely within a drop off bay on Great Charles Street.

These bustling new spaces will add vitality and life to the frontages.

A mixture of gym space, wellbeing hub, cycle store, resident's lounge & storage space will be provided; as well as a reception area and cafe space.

The updated plans will now go to public consultation, ending on April 12th.
