Edgbaston House, Commercial building in Birmingham, England.
Edgbaston House was a modern commercial building at Duchess Place in Birmingham that rose over 18 floors. The structure provided office and commercial space for financial institutions, banks, and medical practices.
The structure was built in 1976 during a period of growth for Birmingham's commercial sector. It was demolished in 2018 to make way for the New Garden Square development project.
The building marked a shift in how Birmingham was reinventing itself beyond its industrial past, becoming a center for modern commerce and professional services. Visitors could see how this transformation reshaped the urban landscape and the way the city functioned.
The building was located near Birmingham's center and was accessible from Duchess Place. Visitors could view the site from the surrounding streets, though access to office spaces was restricted to tenants and authorized persons.
The building was part of the larger Duchess Place estate, designed as a coordinated commercial complex rather than as standalone structures. This integrated planning approach shaped how the surrounding area functioned as a business district.
