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.

5Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
One of the best aspects of living here is the location. It’s very convenient, with the city centre just a short walk away and plenty of restaurants, cafés, shops, and things to do nearby. The area has a great atmosphere and makes day-to-day living really enjoyable. The only downside is that the street can be quite noisy at times, especially if the windows are open. It can occasionally be a little loud, but that’s to be expected with such a central location. Overall, the benefits of living here far outweigh this, and I’ve had a great experience.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The management team has always responded to any issues I’ve raised promptly and professionally. They make sure everything is dealt with as quickly as possible and keep you updated throughout the process. When I first moved in, I experienced a few issues with my apartment, but they worked hard to get everything resolved as soon as they could. They even gave me access to an empty apartment while the repairs were being carried out so I wouldn’t be inconvenienced. Their willingness to go the extra mile really made a difference and showed how much they care about their residents.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I knew how noisy it sometimes can get due to where my apartment is facing but asides from that in the building itself it’s very peaceful and quiet and omg they have the best hot chocolate and fun events and so far my stay has been amazing!
