Plans for a huge new apartment complex reaching 50 storeys in Birmingham have been unveiled which could also see the famous old King Kong statue making a return to the city.

Jewellery Quarter developer Cordia Blackswan is behind the proposed scheme in Thorp Street in the Southside district which would contain 487 units to rent, ranging from one-bedroom to penthouse apartments.

The scheme, next to the Hippodrome theatre and Birmingham Royal Ballet buildings, would also have a lounge for residents on the 48th floor containing workspace, a library, cinema, games room and garden area.
