DERELICT U.K. SITE TO BE TRANSFORMED BY RESIDENTIAL TOWER

A derelict site in Birmingham, U.K., that once housed a well-known rock club will be transformed by a 42-story tower housing 481 rental apartments, thanks to developer Moda reaching an agreement with John Sisk & Son to start construction, Construction Enquirer reports. The Broad Street development, which will have a 60,000 sq. ft. podium with a lounge, fitness areas, co-working space and a dining area, is expected to be complete in 2022. Moda Director of Projects Andrew Parker called it a "landmark project" that is the company's largest within its pipeline of 7,000 apartments in 10 U.K. cities.
