Snow Hill
(map) is a 3.65 acre development next to Snow Hill Station
in the Business Quarter.
It consists of four phases: (1) the Viaduct (2) One Snowhill (3) Two
Snowhill and (4) Three Snowhill
The Viaduct, which has been completed, will carry 220 metres of the
Midland Metro
tramline extension above Great Charles Street Queensway to Colmore
Circus.
One
Snowhill, which has been completed, is a 57-metre/12-floor office
building with ground-floor retail units.
Two Snowhill, which is currently under construction, is a 75-metre,
15-floor office building with ground-floor retail units.
Three Snowhill which is currently under construction, will consist of
two towers: a 42-floor/137-metre residential tower and a 23-floor/82
metre five-star hotel with 198 guestrooms. They will be connected at
basement and first-floor level and will include ground-floor commercial
units centred on a public square.
Saint Chad's Circus has been realigned to make room for Three Snowhill;
however, work has stalled due to the recession and the
partially-constructed towers will be camouflaged by banners until work
resumes
