"From the first piling activity to the huge structural foundations required which included the largest trusses ever seen for a commercial building in Birmingham, we've been passionate about this building from day one.
"But this ceremony is all about marking the completion of structural work and celebrating the collective efforts to get to this point.
"Internal work will continue for some months, with occupier fitouts commencing later in the year, all contributing to the impact Paradise is having on the city and its people."
