£300m shopping masterplan will see one of Coventry's ugliest buildings demolished



One of Coventry’s ugliest buildings will be demolished as part of £300million regeneration plans for the city centre.

The 14-storey Coventry Point office block will be erased from the skyline as part of the ambitious City Centre South scheme, which will see the transformation of Hertford Street, the Bull Yard, Shelton Square and City Arcade.

Coventry Point was designed in 1969 by architect John Madin - the man behind Birmingham’s recently demolished brutalist Central Library - and was completed in 1975.

It is actually two towers joined by glass walkways, but its dull grey concrete exterior has previously been described by the Coventry Society as “unsightly and of poor quality”.

It has had various occupants over the years, including solicitors, a snooker centre and engineering consultants, but is currently only partially occupied.

It's a case of believe it when you see it.
