Shanghai-based PGC Capital has been granted planning permission for a 517-flat scheme in Birmingham.
The scheme, at 75-80 High Street in Digbeth, is the developer’s second in the city.
Construction is expected to start mid-2018. Corstorphine + Wright designed the scheme; PGC Capital will act as development manager.
The project will be known as Lunar Rise in recognition of the city’s Lunar Society, a group of 19th century polymaths. The tallest of its three blocks will rise to 25 storeys.
Francis Cole, PGC Capital’s UK president, said: “PGC Capital wants to develop close working partnerships with local government to create developments that satisfy the needs of all shareholders involved.”
