From the Wikipedia article

Makers Place, also known as Great Charles Street, is a mixed-use residential development in Birmingham, England, centred on a 126 metre (413 ft) tall, 39-storey skyscraper. The project is being delivered by Moda Living and comprises residential units, amenity space and ground-floor commercial uses. The development occupies the former Ludgate Hill car park site on Great Charles Street, located between Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter and the Snow Hill district. The scheme features a 39-storey tower, two mid-rise podium buildings and landscaped public areas. In total, it provides 722 apartments, along with co-working space, lounges, gyms, roof terraces and commercial units at ground level. As of October 2025, the tower is the fourth tallest building in Birmingham, behind The Octagon, One Eastside and Moda's other project, The Mercian.
