Tower is part of the 420-home Snow Hill Wharf scheme

Berkeley has revealed details of a 182m residential tower it plans to build in Birmingham as the final phase of its 420-home Snow Hill Wharf scheme.

The Grid Architects-designed 21-storey tower, known as The Regent, will be developed by Berkeley subsidiary St Joseph.

It will be the latest high-rise addition to Birmingham鈥檚 skyline, which has seen a surge in new tall buildings in recent months.

How the 21-storey tower will look when finished

Architect Glancy Nicholls has been given the go ahead for three towers since last December, including the 117m tall 211 Broad Street, the UK鈥檚 first 鈥渟uper slender鈥 tower, while Glenn Howells Architects鈥 155m Octagon tower at the city鈥檚 Paradise scheme is currently in early planning stages.

The Regent will include 108 homes, including a pair of two-storey penthouses.

It will be the first tall building in the Gun Quarter, once a global centre of firearm production for the British Empire.

The tower will be at the centre of St Joseph鈥檚 Snow Hill Wharf, a 420-home scheme also designed by Grid Architects, which was given the green light in 2018.
