Euro Property Investments has submitted plans for a 61-storey, luxury residential tower at 100 Broad Street, Birmingham.
The super slim skyscraper rises to 193.3m on a 0.6-acre footprint, and would be the tallest tower in the city.
Proposals for a 503-home high-end residential scheme have been designed by Glancy Nicholls Architects with planning consultants Turley.
The tower will front Broad Street and include 55 storeys of residential floorspace, comprising a mix of one and two-bedroom apartments for the for sale market.
The development offers panoramic views of the city at its top floor restaurant, providing the highest altitude dining outside of the capital. It incorporates a two-storey pavilion building with amenity, storage and garden space.
The site currently holds a five-storey office building occupied by Jobcentre Plus and Uber Greenlight and a car park.
If the plans are approved it would see EPI take the record of tallest tower in the city, previously set by Moda Living, of 42 storeys at The Mercian at 121 Broad Street.
Broad Street has been identified by Birmingham City as an allocated area for high rise development along the sandstone ridge known as the Birmingham Fault.
Previously associated with cheap bars and hen dos, the street has become a hotbed of BTR development as residential developers seek to take advantage of the city centre policy.
Other contenders for the tallest tower record include Court Collaboration’s One Eastside next to the HS2 Curzon Street, which proposes 51 storeys in plans submitted early May, and Nikal’s phase two at Exchange Square which was previously tipped for 46 storeys and acquired by Grainger, with plans expected to be submitted imminently.
EPI’s plans for 100 Broad Street can be viewed at Birmingham City Council’s planning portal.
