The Construction of 103 Colmore Row - July 2020
103 Colmore Row is so close to structural completion now with one of the last beams being installed on 17th July. Here are various views of 103 Colmore Row in July 2020. Did you know that it is in direct line of sight of Castle Bromwich Hall? Ellliott has returned to the City Centre for the first time in over 100 days of lockdown and has got some close up views while in town.

103 Colmore Row can be seen directly down the hill from Castle Bromwich Hall.
The square unusually quiet at lunchtime, with most office workers yet to go back to work. Colmore Gate was looking taller than 103 Colmore Row here. Just the odd person on a bicycle.

The Construction of 103 Colmore Row - Late June 2020
103 Colmore Row claims to be 'Above all else', well it pretty much is now as it's on the top of the ridge above the Rea Valley where the city centre drops down towards Digbeth and Southside. The building is very close to structural top out and the cladding is being glimpsed from much further away now. Loads of photos in this post from our regular contributors...

But of course, you don't need to visit Birmingham City Centre to be able to capture a glimpse of the building. It's awe-inspiringly visible from the suburbs too as these pictures from Elliott Brown show.

Massive development at 103 Colmore Row in Birmingham is back on track!
The Landmark office development at 103 Colmore Row is back on track after a brief delay in construction.
103 Colmore Row is one of a kind.
Standing at an imposing 26 storeys (108m from its lowest peak and 105.5m at its highest), it will become the city’s tallest office building once complete.
But not only that, it also takes the crown of being the largest office under construction anywhere outside of London, showing once more that Birmingham continues to be a hugely attractive city to invest and do business in.
Sterling Property Ventures and Rockspring Property Investment Managers LLP teamed up in 2014 (until the latter were acquired by Patrizia in late 2017) to bring this project forward, that is until a top London investor entered the scene recently, which saw a brief pause on construction.
Tristan Capital Partners acquired Patrizia’s interest in the site and will now work with development manager Sterling PV to commence this eagerly-awaited development.
Work has now officially recommenced with work on the concrete core set to rise this month.
