Construction work has officially started on a major new residential development in Birmingham city centre.
Ground has been broken on the £302 million Great Charles Street project in the city's Jewellery Quarter which will eventually see 722 apartments for rent built on a former council car park.
Moda Living, which is behind the 42-storey Mercian scheme in Broad Street, is leading the scheme on the Ludgate Hill Car Park, known by many as ‘the bomb site', which will comprise three blocks ranging from six to 39 storeys.
