Bruntwood SciTech has submitted plans for a £30m expansion of its Innovation Birmingham campus.
The firm is aiming to build a new 120,000 sq ft workspace building – Enterprise Wharf – for the campus, which is located next to Aston University and Birmingham City University.
Plans for the property include a large reception and roof garden, as well as proposals for new landscaping and public realm, such as improved access to the adjacent Birmingham and Fazeley canal.
It will be designed for digital and tech companies and serve as a hub for them, providing firms with access to social events and business support.
David Hardman, managing director, Bruntwood SciTech in Birmingham, said: “The West Midlands is home to an ever-expanding digital tech ecosystem… connecting start-ups with corporates and the public sector is crucial to innovation. Enterprise Wharf will expand our innovative community and help the sector flourish in our region.”
If the scheme is approved work is expected to start onsite early in 2020, with the building opening in late 2021.
Avison Young and Savills UK are advising Bruntwood SciTech on the scheme.
