Green light for major Birmingham mixed-use scheme

Posted on by in Weekly News

Developer Cole Waterhouse has received planning permission for a £260M mixed-used scheme in the Digbeth area of Birmingham.

The five-acre development will see the existing industrial land transformed into a cultural, commercial and residential scheme including a new public park called Pump House Park.

Designed by architects Corstorphine & Wright, the Upper Trinity Street scheme of around eight buildings, one rising up to 31-storeys, will consist of over 940 flats, a 130-bedroom hotel and commercial and shopping space.

Cole Waterhouse CEO Damian Flood said: “This is a really important moment in Digbeth’s continuing evolution and we are very proud to have been granted permission to proceed with developing the scheme and helping to secure a bright future for Digbeth.”

Ian Ward, Leader of Birmingham City Council added: “This will be a golden decade of inclusive growth, job creation and regeneration in Birmingham, and Digbeth is identified as one of our primary growth quarters.”
