Plans to transform a site in Birmingham with up to 1,500 homes, commercial and retail space, and grade A offices have been outlined as the development goes to consultation.
The proposals for Martineau Place aim to create a destination that is active throughout the day and into the evening, with new homes, offices, shops, cafes, restaurants, and public spaces. More than half the site would be dedicated to public realm, alongside new walking and cycling connections.
Initial details of the project were revealed in an EIA Scoping Report published earlier this year.
The scheme is designed to help connect HS2’s Curzon Street Station, Cathedral Square and the Colmore Business District, as well as unlock the wider regeneration opportunities on Curzon Street and in the city centre.
It is a central pillar of Birmingham City Council’s Central Heart vision, which is expected to create about 5,000 homes and 8,000 jobs.
A public engagement event will be held on 16 July at the former Pep&co, 76-77 Corporation St, Birmingham, B2 4UQ, between 1pm-6pm.
Martineau Place is backed by a joint venture between Sixth Street, a global investment firm with more than $130bn in assets under management and a track record investing in global real estate, and Henley Investment Management.
The full consultation website will launch at 10am on 16 July.
