Five Ways Tower, Commercial high-rise building in Birmingham, United Kingdom
Five Ways Tower reaches a height of 76 meters with 23 floors, featuring steel and concrete construction with brick and glass exterior elements.
Upon completion in 1979, the building served as office space until 2005, when health concerns related to ventilation issues forced tenants to evacuate.
The tower represents Birmingham's late 1970s commercial architecture period, designed by Philip Bright of the Property Services Agency.
The structure contained 100,000 square feet of floor space and included parking facilities for 200 vehicles before its closure.
The building, standing empty since 2005, underwent demolition in 2024 following years of degradation and unsuccessful attempts at hotel conversion.
