The final panels have been installed on the crown of The Octagon today – the flags represent the nationalities of the workers and suppliers involved in this very important part of the building. Thanks to everyone involved.

It's been a fantastic year for Paradise and especially The Octagon! 🛑
Work started in 2022 and this year the building reached its highest point. Watch this time-lapse to see the progress over the years.
We can't wait to see Birmingham's tallest and the world's first pure octagonal building completed in 2025.
