Regal Property Group has been given the go-ahead for a 47-storey build-to-rent (BTR) scheme at 90-97 Broad Street in the heart of Birmingham.
The Essington development will provide 525 homes on a 0.25 hectare site, which is currently occupied by a vacant three-storey commercial building.
The 145m tall tower, which was designed by Glancy Nicholls Architects, will offer a wide range of amenities, including breakout lounges, a gym, cinema, bookable dining rooms and communal winter garden.
Adam McPartland, director at Glancy Nicholls Architects, said: “Designed to physically open out onto the street below, the concept for this building started with place-making within the urban realm, with thoughts around lively amenity space spilling out onto an urban pocket park adjacent to the metro stop. This pocket park is a key part of the 90-97 experience offering pause to Broad Street’s bustle, much needed habitat and sustainable drainage opportunities and forging the key access point for a new connection from Broad Street into Ladywood.”
Pre-construction of the development is expected to commence in Q3/Q4 2024.
