What a city, to have Greek/Roman, Viennese/Vatican and Manhattan styles of buildings in the same area can only be accidental, no serious thought can have conceived such a thing!

MODA Tower coming along nicely.

I can't wait to get a table booked in any restaurant at the moment.

Apart from the navigation light on the roof, I can see a lot of lights burning or a near fully occupied building. Looks good though.

It is still officially under construction Jennyjet and is being fitted out, hence why all the lights.

Great addition, I think that site has been waiting for 20+ years to be redeveloped

Wasn't there talk of moving Digbeth Coach Station there a few years ago?

Talking of Digbeth and opposite where I live in those flats you can see over the road, they have found some horns, yes horns at The Beorma Quarter. The article also mentions a spring start on the tower, yes you heard it correct a spring start, lol

Preserved horns found next to Bull Ring Market in archaeological dig

An archaeological dig close to Birmingham's 12th century spiritual home has uncovered horns and cattle bones yards from the Bull Ring Market

When it comes to this building I think I've said 'I'll believe it when I see it' almost as many times as I've said it about BHX

Yes coach station was talked about, with easy access in but they could not work an easy way to get the coaches back out again !

It probably wouldn't have been the best location for a coach station. Great for the Jewellery Quarter but I couldn't imagine coach loads of people using that awful pedestrian bridge to get to/from the city core.

Or trying to walk through sewage water through the underpass under the road, truly disgusting. It should be closed now due to being a health hazard.
