Bowmer + Kirkland is tipped to take the job, which will form the second phase of the 11-acre New Garden Square masterplan, which will feature over 2,000 homes and £6m of public realm.
A vacant office building, No. 1 Duchess Place, will be demolished to make way for the building, which is set to be the tallest in the Hagley Road neighbourhood in Edgbaston.
The latest block will tower above Winvic’s phase one project known as the The Mercian.
The project, which is expected to move to construction in February, will include a roof terrace, 24-hour gym, co-working space and resident lounges.
Up to 425 jobs are expected to be created during the construction phase.
The professional team include Leeds-based Tate as M&E consultant, with Curtains as civils and structural engineer. Gardiner & Theobald is the cost consultant on the project, designed by Fuse Studios.
