A major residential development on the site of the former Five Ways Shopping Centre in Birmingham has topped out.
Developer SevenCapital was joined by construction partners Colmore Tang and Creagh Concrete to mark the key milestone.
Located opposite SevenCapital's Park Regis Hotel, St Martin's Place will comprise of 228 new one, two and three- bedroom apartments across four blocks of between six and 17 storeys. It will also feature exclusive private residents' amenities, including cinema room, WiFi lounge and a gym.
St Martin's Place will set itself apart from any other development in the city by offering hotel services to residents, provided by the neighbouring Park Regis.
The development is now officially sold out one year ahead of its expected completion in Q2 2021.
The building envelope is now complete, with floors laid across the development and windows fitted to all levels. M&E has been integrated into panels off-site. The build utilised a total of 3000 pre-cast pieces, manufactured by Creagh, benefitting the project with six months build betterment against traditional construction methods.
The work has provided significant employment opportunities for the local workforce, with contractors for both Colmore Tang and Creagh Concrete coming from the region.
Damien Siviter, group managing director for SevenCapital said: "St Martin's Place is a flagship development for SevenCapital, so we're pleased to see such fantastic on-site progress from our construction teams. This is an important milestone for the project, which having sold out of all but one unit has already exceeded expectations, and everyone is working hard to ensure delivery is on time and to the highest standards."
Steve Underwood, CEO of Colmore Tang Construction commented: "We have worked with Creagh on developing an innovative solution, which has accelerated our programme and offered significant benefits in terms of quality, safety and construction. This project is now our 16th in the region, having delivered 3,500 apartments, demonstrating our expertise and making us the contractor of choice for delivering high density residential schemes in the Midlands area."
