Pablo Fanque House (The Quad) is a residential tower located on All Saints Green in Norwich, England, providing 244 units of student accommodation as well as office space.[1] It stands on the site of the former All Saints Green Mecca Bingo hall,[2] which was demolished in 2014.[3] It stands at a height of 46.2 metres at its tallest, making it the fifth tallest building in Norwich. It was completed in September 2018,[2] at a cost of £15.5 million.[4]
The building is named after Pablo Fanque, a popular showman who was born in Norwich and lived in close proximity to where the tower currently stands.[5]
