New Square Garden will see up to 400 apartments built in mixed-use project

Plans have been submitted to Birmingham council for a 拢300m scheme in Edgbaston which will provide up to 400 new homes and around 2,400m虏 of retail and commercial space.

Designed by Glenn Howells Architects, the New Garden Square project (pictured) is set to be developed by a partnership between Calthorpe Estates and regeneration specialist U+I.

It will cover 4.3ha, currently occupied by 1960s office buildings sitting alongside the Hagley Road, a main road route into and out of the city.

In addition to the housing and retail space there is the potential for a 100-bed hotel and 900 car parking spaces.

Paul Patenall, projects director at U+I, said the scheme would extend the city core, creating a new business destination.
