The Mercian, B15

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

It is the best location to live in Birmingham, right in the city centre, close to everything you might need: grocery stores, bullring shopping centre, train station, tram station, bus stops, many restaurants, bars and pubs and of course brindley place. This does mean it can get a bit loud on friday-saturday nights but I think its worth it.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

There has been a query opened straight away and someone came to have a look.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Just that despite the windows it gets very hot during the summer, especially the sun is very harsh on higher floors

Close to train station, near supermarkets, amazing view.Living at Moda The Mercian is fantastic. Shops, restaurants, bars, and open spaces are all within a short walk, with everything from supermarkets to canalside cafés nearby. Transport links are excellent, with buses, trams, and New Street station close, making commuting easy. The street feels vibrant yet safe, with secure underground parking and reliable bin collections. Occasional weekend noise from Broad Street adds to the city buzz but never feels intrusive. Anti-social behaviour is rare thanks to great on-site staff. Overall, it’s a perfect mix of convenience, comfort, and lifestyle in the heart of Birmingham. Highly recommend it to anyone.
