It is said to be the world's first octagonal residential skyscraper and took three years to build.
The new tower will be managed by Allsop and is due to begin welcoming its first tenants this month.
The wider £1.2 billion Paradise estate is an office-led scheme by MEPC, the specialist development arm of Federated Hermes on behalf of its clients.
Octagon is backed by Singapore-based real estate investor City Developments whose director Neil McGinty said: "Our original investment was recognised as one of the largest foreign direct investments made in the 海角视频 regions in recent years and that investment has now come to fruition as we prepare to welcome our first residents.
"This moment underlines our commitment to Birmingham as a world-class, international destination with a strong regional economy and an exceptional future.
