Description
The one-bedroom Type A offers 577 sq ft of spacious open-plan living space, available from floors 1 to 45. Choose from two distinctive furniture collections inspired by Birmingham's landmarks, each bringing its own character, palette and atmosphere: Emerald offers deeper tones and warm wood accents, while Pearl has soft tones and clean lines for a light, contemporary interior.
Life at The Octagon extends beyond the apartment itself. Residents have access to 24-hour concierge support, co-working areas, a residents' gym, private dining, lounges and meeting spaces that make it easy to move between work, wellbeing and social life without leaving the building. Ideal for professionals, couples, and international residents seeking a sophisticated urban lifestyle.
Positioned within Paradise, The Octagon sits in one of Birmingham's most connected central districts, with the city's major business hubs, fine dining, shopping destinations and cultural venues all within walking distance. Birmingham New Street and Snow Hill are both close by, while Metro and wider city connections keep Birmingham and beyond easily accessible.
The architecture remains a defining part of the story. The Octagon is Birmingham's tallest building and the world's first purely octagonal residential high-rise, with a unique form that creates homes that are larger, wider and brighter than conventional city apartments.
