:''This article is about the development in Birmingham, England. For the suburb in South Africa, see Park Central, Gauteng.'' Park Central is a large development under construction on the outskirts of Birmingham city centre in England. The Lee Bank area on which Park Central is located, had become rundown over time and required redevelopment. As a result, Crest Nicholson decided to develop the area with new mid and high rise properties. Numerous 1960s residential buildings were demolished including Haddon Tower which was destroyed on July 23, 2006. Construction began in late 2005 with the levelling of the land and completion is expected in 2014 with a final cost of £200 million. Two supermarket chains, Tesco and Asda, have submitted proposals for stores in the development. The Asda proposal includes a 25 storey spiral shaped tower with concrete core with a glass wall curving up it. This will be the tallest building in the complex if approved and completed. The Tesco proposal consists of a curved midrise building at the junction of two roads. It will contain residential apartments and an open area to the rear. A multi-storey section will be located at the shortest part of the building which will be known as Monaco House. Nearby buildings which have been completed or are currently under construction with a connection to the development include the Etap Hotel and the Opal Building which will be a residential block for students. ==External links== * (Official website (requires Flash) ) * (Retail Quarter information ) * (Attwood Green information ) * (Demolition of Haddon Tower ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Park Central」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
