cinema, shopping centre
A new shopping complex along with apartments and eateries located near the canals. The area needed redevelopment and at it's opening, huge spotlights reminiscent of Hollywood Movie Awards were placed around the building. The final phase of the redevelopment plan, The Cube, is set for ground breaking in June 2006. The Mailbox is now the new home for the midlands BBC team.
The development takes its name from the fact that it used to be the main postal sorting office for the Birmingham area (now near Newtown in Birmingham). Before this it was a Ministy of Defence building, housing trucks, tanks and offices. Tanks ware able to be driven around the building as its floors were so thick.
