Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice design and quality furniture. Quality of amenities and fixtures and fittings in the apartments. Everything is brand new. Studio is like a compact one bed and is much better than a studio. The entrance is exceptional with 24 hour team on site.

Young professional city living
Beautiful brand new apartments with high tech appliances. Very secure with multiple fobs required to give you access to your floors / apartment which sometimes can be annoying. Staff are very friendly always on hand to help when any issues arise. Property is very clean and well kept.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
A very central location with all the necessities on your doorstep. However living on broad street means Fridays & Saturdays tend to be noisy.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Bad: The noise on broad street
Good: the types of events that would be put on. Since they hired the resident engagement manager Olivia for Birmingham there has been a huge increase in community spirit amongst the residents with more people wanting to relax / meet people in the communal spaces.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes, within the hour it is responded to and a member of the maintenance team will come to look at the issue.

Thanks for your lovely review Frederica, keep an eye on the app for more great events coming soon

Great also improve needed
It is said that the reception is 24/7. But the concierge sometimes cannot be reached, especially on weekends and at midnight. And the delivery food cannot be picked up at room door, which is different from other apartment in London.
The location and facilities are great.

Hi Charlie
Sorry to hear that you have not been able to reach the team sometimes, if ever you need them & they’re not at the desk feel free to give the number on the sign a call.
We don’t allow delivery drivers up to our resident’s doors as a security measure, I’m sure you can imagine how many Deliveroo orders are delivered here every day, we’d need a revolving door to let them all in!
It great to hear that you like our facilities though &, we agree, the location is excellent 🙂
Life at The Mercian
The building management is impeccable, the team are wonderful when it comes to this, maintenance issues are fixed quickly and the team are so friendly. The apartment is gorgeous and so is the furniture, the facilities are absolutely stunning, great gym and the bbqs are a nice touch
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
As it’s on Broad Street is can be noisy over the weekend but the noise it very limited with the windows shut. There is good accessibility to the sainsbury’s local over the road and a Morrisons a short walk away. We have a private parking space not far away as the parking within the Mercian is rather expensive.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Pet friendly, and a lovely little online community
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Very quickly and great communucation – my washing machine was faulty when I first got it and the team were extremely helpful.

Hi Annie
Thanks for your great review & for your lovely comments about the team.
Simply Amazing!
What drew me to this development was the great marketing videos on social media, I had to see if the building was as a amazing as it looked in those. It didn’t dissapoint, during my first viewing with Laxmi I was blown away by the detail, the cleanliness, the interior design, the communal areas, the outdoor space and just the whole vibe of the place, it’s amazing.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Being in the heart of the city, everything is on hand, the best restaurants, bars & nightlife. Every taste is catered for locally with global cuisine. Parking onsite is great and there are also three NCP car parks at the rear of the development along with on street parking available.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I’m on the 18th but wish I’d gone higher as the views are spectacular, day and night.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes, a couple of very minor issues that were responded to straight away.
1st class living
The facilities at the Mercian are 1st class and very clean. Great gym and workout area. The staff are great especially mo who will go above and beyond to help. I would also like to add that the way everyone at the Mercian dealt with the situation with the fire a couple of months ago was very professional
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Great location, stunning views of the city skyline.
Faults are the issues with the bin chutes never working and the access control not working in the lobby, therefore security is not 100 percent. Also as a no smoking building there is still alot of smoking in rooms and down on the outside area around the running track.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Great Central location. Warm apartment so not having to use the heating is a bonus
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
We have not had any real issues but the minor ones we have had have been dealt with fast and efficiently
Manager Response
Hi Gavin
Thanks for the great feedback on the team, Mo is fantastic 🙂
Its really frustrating that a small number of residents flout our non-smoking policy, if you see anyone smoking please let the team know so we can speak to them.
Thanks
Amazing apartment extremely Safe
Brilliant development and as ive stay here id never go back to basic renting, if i have a issue the workmen come an fix it straight away. Cleaners aways keeping the facility clean, and the whole idea is such a brilliant idea, they have a gym, cinema brilliant outdoor area, although I haven’t attended the social events there’s always emails regarding events thats on, brilliant building. Worth every penny!

Beautiful building & facilities & very safe! Glad i made this choice, i viewed several apartments by broad street but the safety at Moda mercian was the best, as all other buildings you can go to any floor, but with Moda your access in the lift brings you to your floor only, that was the selling point for me as safety is important. My car is safe and locked away in a gated parking facility and although its positioned on broad-street its so peaceful and quiet, i love it! The staff are always to hand and friendly and although its not the biggest 1 bedroom, the views are stunning! I love the idea the apartments are always maintained by Moda so no dodgy private landlords, its such a brilliant facility and although im
Only here whilst my home is being built i genuinely dont want to leave, i love the peace and quite and feeling extremely safe 24/7.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Wish i rented sooner, plus i wish I checked furniture already here so I didn’t bring so much stuff, but thats a minor issue.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes, when reported replied straight away and sorted issues!

Hi Lisa
Thanks for the amazing review. Love that you found us & are embracing Living The Moda Life! Hopefully we’ll be able to tempt you to one of our events soon.
Best Birmingham Tower experience
All apartments and shared facilities have a luxurious ending design. The amenities are the latest and best available in the market which are super efficient and eco-friendly. Many events are hosted by the Moda team were all tenants are welcome and freebies are amazing.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
The location is super central, has access to all the types of public transport in very short distances. Many restaurants, bars and walking areas nearby for all type of occasions including pet-friendly options. The security and staff of the tower are available at all times and always willing to help out.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Always keep your notifications ON for the moda app to not miss out on the free events and the freebies they give as they are amazing and the atmosphere incredible.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Fast and super friendly, they usually also keep on touch to make sure the problem has been solved completely

Hi
Thank you so much for your 5* review, it’s so nice to hear that you love The Mercian as much as we do.
Living at The Mercian in the first three months.
I’ve lived here at The Mercian for over three months now. Im honestly having a great time here. The management team and repairs services is very professional and efficient. The building has employed more advanced security as well, which has made me feel very safe. The amenities and infrastructure is very modern, clean and sleek. The communal room is well designed, very cozy and gives a sense of warmth. Every staff member have been helpful and caring, especially Laxmi, the head of management. She carries a charisma that makes you feel very at home and welcomed ever since I checked in. Thanks to the Moda team for everything.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
hi The area is situated right on the Broad Street. On Friday, Saturday nights it is especially loud if the windows are open, however most nights it is very serene and quite quiet. There is a sainsbury 1 minute away, multiple bus stops and tram stops on the street too. A ten minute walk to the main train station. The location is nice and clean as well (for the most part). Everything is newly built here and if I convinced you this was London you might’ve just believe me!
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I did not know the Utilities bill would equate to £140/pm and I am living in a two bedroom apartment alone. I hoped the price was at a variable rate but I guess not.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They were quick to respond to my problem. Turnover process within a day or two. They sent to employees up with full gear and took a look at my MRXBOX. Process was efficient and quick.

Hi Frederick
