The McLaren Building is a 79 m tall commercial building in Birmingham, England designed by Philip Bonham Associates. It is a thin green and brown building which is home to many businesses.
It is situated on the edge of two massive redevelopment sites and buildings of a similar proportion to the McLaren Building are being constructed.
During the demolition of Masshouse Circus, the rear of the building was closed due to the threat of falling debris. It is believed that the tower will undergo a reclad during the construction of Masshouse which will completely transform the appearance.
