Alpha Tower
Alpha Tower is Grade II listed office skyscraper. It was designed by the Birmingham-born architect George Marsh as the headquarters of the commercial television company ATV (Associated Television) and part of the company's production studio complex known as ATV Centre. ATV closed in 1982, after which the building became offices. Birmingham City Council took a large tenancy of the building until they vacated in 2010. It is the third tallest building in Birmingham and the tallest office building in Birmingham.
