JQ Rise, a new development at the edge of Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter, has topped out, with residents expected to move in this summer.

Developed by Prosperity Group, the project consists of 226 homes spread across three blocks comprising four, eight and 25-storeys tower, with communal gardens for residents.
