1 Beorma Place (also known as Beorma Tower or Beorma Quarter) is a 113-metre (371 ft) tall, 30-storey mixed-use skyscraper under construction in Birmingham, England, forming part of the wider Beorma Quarter regeneration project in Digbeth.

It is developed by Salhia Investments and designed by architecture practice Broadway Malyan. As of October 2025, the building is the sixth tallest building in Birmingham.
History
Plans for the Beorma Quarter were first announced in 2009, when Salhia Investments submitted a proposal for a £150 million mixed-use development on a 2.2-acre site at Park Street and Digbeth High Street.Lomholt Isabelle 2017-10-11 Beorma Quarter Birmingham: Digbeth Building https://www.e-architect.com/birmingham/beorma-quarter-digbeth 2025-10-20 e-architect en-us Planning permission for the first phase, including the refurbishment of existing buildings and construction of offices and apartments, was granted by Birmingham City Council in 2010.
In 2015, detailed approval was given for the tower element now known as 1 Beorma Place, following design revisions by Broadway Malyan.1 Beorma Place https://www.broadwaymalyan.com/projects/1-beorma-place/ 2025-10-20 Broadway Malyan
Site preparation and early construction began around 2019, coinciding with renewed investment in Digbeth linked to HS2 and the city's Big City Plan. Full construction of the main tower advanced through 2023–2025, with completion targeted for mid-2026.
Location
1 Beorma Place stands at the junction of Park Street and Digbeth High Street, opposite the Bullring shopping centre and adjacent to St Martin's Church. The site lies within the Beorma Quarter, a 2.2-acre regeneration area forming a gateway between the retail core and Digbeth's creative quarter. The development is close to Birmingham Moor Street railway station and the planned HS2 Birmingham Curzon Street railway station.
Development
The Beorma Quarter scheme is being delivered in phases by Kuwaiti developer Salhia Investments. Outline planning consent for the mixed-use project was first granted in 2009, with subsequent detailed approvals for individual elements. The overall masterplan combines commercial offices, residential apartments, leisure and retail units, and a new public square known as Orwell Place.
Design
1 Beorma Place was designed by Broadway Malyan with a stepped tower profile inspired by the medieval burgage plots that once characterised the area. The tower employs a glazed curtain-wall façade with aluminium detailing and a granite-clad podium. Sustainability measures include a fully electric, gas-free energy system, BREEAM Excellent target, rooftop terraces and landscaped public realm at street level.
The building provides approximately 152,000 sq ft (14,100 m2) of Grade A office space over eleven floors, with additional residential accommodation (around 124 apartments) and ground-floor retail. Amenities include cycle parking, a fitness suite, and outdoor terraces overlooking the city centre.
