The noise from outside and other apartments is shocking for such a new building. You can hear cars and people outside, even mid week and not just the partying at the weekend. Can also hear upstairs AND downstairs neighbours.

Windows groan in the wind which doesn’t seem safe at all.

Cannot use the bins and have to take them down the lifts - being in the lift with other peoples smelly waste is not a nice experience.

Heating doesn’t work well and have to open the windows to regulate the temperature (which means you can hear the street so much more so cannot open at night!)

Air regulator just screams all day.

Literally no peace or nice experience at this place.

I would like to give a big THANK YOU to all the beautiful staff at the Moda building. The team is amazing. Thank you for always making me feel welcome. Talk about class. The experience you will get is that whenever you walk into the building, they make you feel very welcome as though you are the most important person standing in front of them. They are always at hand to help and assist you. Nothing seems too difficult for them. They are kind, helpful, and very professional in their work. You don't see this kind of friendly service much as most people seem to be robotic or are talking to you from a script. I'm happy to say these are real people, and nothing is rehurst, and if it is, you can see its all about customer service and giving them the best possible service/experience ever. I would like to give a special thank you to Adelina, Faris, Vince
Anisha, Zain, Reece, and of course, the beautiful Ellis.

You are all extremely fantastic 👏 ❤️ I would recommend you all.

Thank you again 💓

The building is 42 storeys in height, consisting of a 39-storey residential building (30 studios, 163 one bed, 260 two bed and 28 three-bedroom apartments) which sits on a three-storey podium with over 30,000 square feet (2,800 m2) of community amenity space. The build is valued at £183m and was completed in May 2022.

The tower sits perpendicular to the street with the front-facing Five Ways. Originally, a helipad was proposed to be located on top of the building on a podium, but this was removed from the design, though the podium remained with some minor changes.

The tower was scheduled to be presented before a planning committee in late August 2006. However, the developers pulled out minutes before the meeting to make changes.[3]

The application was presented again on 28 September and whilst it was originally deferred due to lack of information, concerns over height and payment of money under Section 106, it was later approved. The updated proposal boasted a partial redesign, increasing the height of the tower and creating a redesigned façade. Construction of the skyscraper began in April 2019.

The Mercian is the tallest building in Birmingham and the second tallest structure, after the BT Tower. However, this title is expected to be handed over to Octagon, a 49-storey skyscraper currently under construction and due for completion in 2025.
