Alpha Tower

The Alpha Tower is a historic office skyscraper in Birmingham, England, now a Grade II listed landmark. Designed by architect George Marsh, the building originally served as the headquarters of the commercial television broadcaster ATV and was part of a larger studio complex. At 100 meters (328 feet) tall, it is one of the city's most distinctive high-rises, and it was overtaken only in 2020 by a newer office building in the ranking of the tallest office towers. The architecture is praised for its dynamic forms and elegant design, which shaped the rebuilding of the city center in the mid-20th century. After the broadcaster closed in 1982, the building was converted into office space. Following several changes of ownership and a comprehensive renovation completed in 2023, the tower once again houses modern offices. You can admire the building as an impressive landmark on the skyline, and it also gained fame in pop culture through a film from the 1970s.
