The management is very responsive and responsible. They are all always very happy and cheerful, nothing seems too much for them. The facilities are great as well, you wouldn’t need to leave the building for the luxury. Would definitely recommend. It is extremely convenient for working professionals

The building is situated at a very convenient location. The bus and tram is available at the doorstep and since it is literally in the heart of birmingham, all prime restaurants and lively pubs or clubs are just around the corner.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
During the weekends the only drawback remains the Broad Street commotion. It is not as much, but can cause inconvenience once in a while
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The management has always been considerate about all the listed issues

Hi Shefali, Thank you so much for your feedback.
We love the benefits of our location and amenities too- we are pleased you are enjoying your living experience at The Mercian 🙂 Thank you!
It’s so convenient for all transportation
I would say , I like the design, facilities and overall.
Unfortunately, I live close to BBQ open area and that made me uncomfortable about 2-3 times which was terrible (10pm to mid night with a big group yelling creaming with their party)
Yoga class is so popular and helpful so would you please consider for more class like twice a week.

It’s so convenient for all transportation such as Tram, Uber. Also there is a convenient store on the opposite side of this accommodation. But it so no noisy time to time from clubs in this area.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
My bill for electric, heater, water was charged with a metering charge so the total was so pricey and I can’t change the company that’s really bad.
If I knew that before, I won’t choose to stay here.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
All problems have been resolved asap from all staff.
Amazing experience
It’s an Amazing design building you can see from a very long distance with a very modern management and access, the facilities are on a different level very easy access to a lot of good things , but most importantly the crew is fantastic they helped me with everything and they made it simple for me

Overall Really Nice
Building is lovely overall but had had teething problems with some facilities, e.g bin chutes etc
The overall look and style of the building is great and I love the open feel it has, the outdoors area was designed well, but some facilities like the gym could have been designed better for more functional/ use purpose over aethstetic

Close to shops and transport links. The streets can be busy in the evenings.and weekends with some noise from the bars.

Love the facilities
I love the facilities!
However I am not satisfied that now the dining room is NOT free to use, now you have to pay to use it and it was not what was initially advertised. I propose a free booking system and if the person leaves it dirty, they will be charged a fee. But I completely disagree that now no one can use it for free
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
-There are many places around, such as restaurants, bars, super markets, etc
-Availability of transport is very good, via tram or 10m walk to the train
-The street is very noisy, you can hear people screaming, partying or fighting almost every night between 10pm-4am. Same with the music from bars, you can hear the music if its too loud. I would undoubtedly say that the noise of the cars is the worst, people use their car horns non-stop at night, sirens noise, etc. huge problem that I find difficult to solve and that affects my sleep
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
-The noise in the street
-The dinning room and common areas conditions that changed after I moved in
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
-Every time I have a maintenance problem they respond immediately
-It was impossible to negotiate the renewal price of my contract and they increased the price with very short notice
-A group of residents sent an email regarding the dinning room issue and we never received a response
Manager Response
Thank you Lisa for taking the time to leave some valuable feedback. Our dining room is available for free use throughout the day, and can be booked for private and exclusive parties of an evening. We love our amenities too and pleased to read that you are enjoying them too. Please let us know if we can assist with anything. Thank you!

Perfect location for city centre living.
Im not going to comment on design or facilities it wasn’t a factor for me. Seen much better in London. There is no building management unless the moda head office staff are in the building then suddenly you will see the “general manager” I think they are completely oblivious and extremely fake! This person is so disengaged from what the residents want or need! If head office are reading this we need a proactive manager who listens and likes to be seen. Thank you

Great place to live
the development is nice and modern, the design is good and the gym is excellent (three pelotons, good weights, though a cable machine would be good).
