The Sky Gardens development comprises of one new 34-storey building known as Midland Tower. It also comprises of the refurbishment/renovation of the existing Midland Mills buildings, which were originally the Midland Junction Foundry (Iron and Brass), into new residential and commercial areas.
Midland Tower is predominantly residential. The typical floor layouts are based on the concept of a central access core around which the apartments are situated.
This arrangement lent itself to the structural concept of one set of columns located on the periphery of the tower supporting flat slabs which run back into the shear core, which will be acting as the main primary lateral stability element in all directions.
The project is due for completion in April 2026.
