Paradise update 15 – combined lift and stair cores

Offsite engineered precast concrete modular units

PCE Ltd are currently working on the 17 acre Paradise redevelopment project with a contract value approaching £5 million to design and build a two storey Hybrid structural frame at the Birmingham city centre location.

The hybrid structure will provide a suspended car park level below a podium level that will form the ground floor of two new office buildings, Number 1 and Number 2, Chamberlain Square. The upper level deck structure will provide the surrounding public realm areas around the buildings linking into the existing landscaping of Chamberlain Square and forming a link between the Square and Broad Street.

The Paradise Birmingham website describes the project as the most important development outside London in the UK:

"Paradise will be one of the biggest development schemes Birmingham has seen for a generation and will dramatically transform this whole area of the city."
