Moda Group has secured planning permission for the delivery of 462 build-to-rent (BTR) homes in Edgbaston, Birmingham.
Moda will deliver the 37-storey building, which features an innovative ‘stepped bar’ design, in partnership with landowner Calthorpe Estates.
The building, which is the latest phase of Moda and Calthorpe’s New Garden Square masterplan, will feature a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom homes, a roof terrace, 24-hour gym, co-working space and resident lounges.
When fully built out, the New Garden Square development will provide 2,400 new homes in a mix of tenures, a new park, retail space, a range of cafes, bars and restaurants, as well as community amenities and workspace.
The first phase of the New Garden Square masterplan – the 398-home BTR neighbourhood Moda, Loudon’s Yard – opened last month.
James Blakey, planning and engagement director at Moda Group, said: “This is a hugely exciting moment for Moda and a big step forward for our wider 2,400-home mixed use masterplan, New Garden Square. Birmingham is in great need of quality new homes, and we are now that bit closer to delivering 462 outstanding quality homes, and a new city neighbourhood providing a gateway to the city centre.
“Working with Calthorpe Estates, the local community and our investors and stakeholders, plus Birmingham City Council, we are dedicated to delivering something that is transformational not just for Edgbaston and Birmingham, but also for the wider Midlands region.”
Ralph Minott, masterplanning and development director at Calthorpe Estates, added: “The approval of this landmark development marks a significant milestone in the transformation of New Garden Square. Our partnership with Moda represents a new era of living and working to Edgbaston, delivering high-quality rental homes and outstanding amenities that reflect our commitment to creating vibrant, sustainable communities. We are thrilled to see our vision come to life, providing much-needed high-quality homes and contributing to the continued growth and prosperity of Birmingham.”
