Sapphire Tower (24/10/11)

Sapphire Tower is a 57 metre tall tower block on Park Lane in the South Aston group in Birmingham, England. Plans for the block were approved in 1969 and was completed in 1971 by Wimpey. It has 20 floors and 116 flats.

In September 2011, Birmingham City Council stated their intention to demolish the tower within the next 5 years, as the tower no longer met modern standards for housing and had become uneconomical to maintain. The demolition is part of a wider £26 million clearance scheme which will see a total of 8 tower blocks across the city demolished.
