Fresh plans have been unveiled for Birmingham's former Rackhams and House of Fraser building.
The proposals, revealed by Birmingham developer Sphere Group, include more than 500 new homes, offices, shops, and restaurants.
A public consultation has been launched on the vision for the landmark city centre site, known as Rackhams Place, before a formal planning application is submitted.
People will get the opportunity to view the plans and speak directly with the project team at the consultation event at One Temple Row on Thursday, September 24.
It will run from 3.30pm until 7.30pm.
The redevelopment would cover the former Rackhams building, One Temple Row, and 43 Temple Row, creating a major mixed-use scheme in the heart of Birmingham city centre.
The plans envisage 500-plus new homes, about 21,000 square metres of office space, new retail units, food and drink venues, and upgraded public spaces.
Sphere Group said the development could create about 1,300 jobs and generate about £350 million in gross development value.
These proposals are part of Birmingham City Council's broader Central Heart Vision, aiming to revitalise underused commercial and office buildings across the city centre.

Sphere Group Managing Director Thomas Taylor said the firm wanted to hear from Birmingham residents before submitting its planning application.
He also said the developer is collecting people's memories of Rackhams due to its place in the city's history.
Rackhams was one of Birmingham's best-known department stores for generations before becoming House of Fraser.
The building remains a recognisable landmark on Corporation Street and Temple Row, making its future a topic of major interest for city centre regeneration.
