Unbuilt Skyscrapers in Southside
 
Two 130-metre skyscrapers, one residential and one commercial, have been approved for construction on Station Street where they will flank a new entrance to New Street Station.

This project has been delayed because of the recession.

Outline planning permission for a 75-metre, 20-storey skyscraper at 49-51 Holloway Head was granted in April 2011.
