The next office building to be delivered on Birmingham's £700 million Paradise scheme has topped out.
One Centenary Way, which is due to complete by the end of this year, has reached the milestone 13 storeys above the city's Chamberlain Square.
Once completed, it will have 280,000 sq ft of mainly office space and be the third building to be completed at the long-running regeneration scheme.
The basement of the building features a cycle hub with space for up to 400 bikes, showers, storage and maintenance facilities which will be available to the public as well as Paradise occupiers.
The construction project, which has been designed by Birmingham practice Glenn Howells Architects, is being led by main contractor Sir Robert McAlpine with engineering consultancy from future tenant Arup.
Workers and business leaders gathered on the building's 13th floor to mark the occasion with a topping out ceremony.
Ian Cheung, southern managing director for Sir Robert McAlpine, said: "Some buildings are exciting from the get-go and this has definitely been the case with One Centenary Way.
"From the first piling activity to the huge structural foundations required which included the largest trusses ever seen for a commercial building in Birmingham, we've been passionate about this building from day one.
"But this ceremony is all about marking the completion of structural work and celebrating the collective efforts to get to this point.
"Internal work will continue for some months, with occupier fitouts commencing later in the year, all contributing to the impact Paradise is having on the city and its people."
