Plans have been lodged to build a new £30 million tech campus in Birmingham city centre.
Called Enterprise Wharf, the 11-storey project will be constructed on vacant land at Innovation Birmingham at the junction of Aston Road and the A38.
If approved as proposed, the block will have 120,000 sq ft of flexible office space aimed at tech and digital businesses alongside collaboration space, cycle storage, showers, a roof garden, public space and improved access to the adjacent canal network.

Enterprise Wharf will offer tenants social events, business support programmes and meet-up groups designed to help them grow.
It is the latest phase of expansion at Innovation Birmingham which has already seen iCentrum and Universities Centre developed in recent years next to the long-standing Faraday Wharf building.
Breakfast event to explore how flexible workspace is helping entrepreneurs
Reach Midlands, publisher of BirminghamLive and BusinessLive, has teamed up with Spaces - the multinational serviced office provider - to host a series of breakfast events to help inform the city's business community about the benefits of co-working.
The next event will take place from 8.30am to 10.30am on Thursday January 23 at Regus Victoria Square, One Victoria Square, in Birmingham city centre - the modern office space which is inspiring business success.
It will explore how technology is changing the way we work and offering people even greater flexibility in their lives. It will feature panel members who can share their experience of best practice.

David Hardman, managing director of Bruntwood SciTech in Birmingham, said: "The West Midlands is home to an ever-expanding digital tech ecosystem.
