Aerial footage of progress at Paradise Birmingham, including demolition of old Central Library.

Working with phase one infrastructure contractor Carillion, Birmingham based demolition experts DSM began dismantling the brutalist concrete structure in December with work in this phase of demolition expected to be complete by July. Meanwhile, good progress is being made on the infrastructure around the site and the enabling works in preparation for construction of the first two buildings – One and Two Chamberlain Square.

Professional services firm PwC has been confirmed as the first business to sign up to the £500 million, transformational Paradise development, having signed a pre-let agreement to relocate its 1,400-strong Birmingham team to the top four and a half floors of the landmark One Chamberlain Square office building, in early 2019.
