Five Ways Tower
The building suffered extensively from external damage including many smashed and missing windows, graffiti and structural damage, despite the owner's extensive efforts to prevent this by installing more fencing, this continued.The building was in excess of 100,000 sq ft (9,300 m2) of existing net office space, six lifts, basement storage, and a double height floor at the top.The building held a carpark for approximately 200 cars allocated to the Tower.As of December 2024, the tower's low-rise offices and car park have already been torn down to make way for a structure of similar scale together with two smaller blocks for student/residential uses.The building's architect was Philip Bright of the Property Services Agency.
