The McLaren Building

McLaren is a 69-metre, 21 storey tall office building in Birmingham, England. It was designed by Paul Bonham Associates and built in 1972. It is situated by the Masshouse and Martineau Galleries redevelopment sites. The entrance is on Priory Queensway.

Originally it housed part of the staff training department of Midland Bank, now HSBC.

Space was initially hard to let because the building was located away from the city's main office area. The West Midlands area Health and Safety Executive had moved from Somerset House by February 1978, and was the main tenant having taken 50,000 square feet (4,600 m) of the total 120,000 square feet (11,000 m) available.

The building is owned by property company Bruntwood who purchased it from the Birmingham Alliance in 2008. In 2009 the building was renovated and its exterior glazing given a fresh look.
