A large gallery of photos of the construction of the 132m The Mercian on Broad Street covering October and November from Stephen, Elliott and Daniel. The building is externally complete but with lighting only installed in the lower third it can look a little stark on the skyline at night just lately...

We've now reached the 27th floor on the main tower, with the main core now sitting pretty on level 29/30. It won’t be long now before it exceeds the 100m mark and saunters above Bank Tower II, adjacent.
