Harvey UK will carry out all of the painting, decorating and finishing work on 481 apartments in The Mercian 42-storey tower in Broad Street.

The £184m scheme is being built by Sisk on behalf of Yorkshire-based Moda Living.

The tower, on the site of the former Tramps nightclub, will include shared lounges, health and sports facilities, a dining club with demonstration kitchen, and a 200-metre running track on the roof.

Harvey UK managing director Tony Harvey said” The Mercian is set to become an iconic building in the heart of Birmingham and we are delighted to have secured this prestigious contract.

“It will have excellent facilities and will be finished to a very high standard.”
