Moda Group has submitted detailed proposals for a new neighbourhood within Edgbaston’s New Garden Square development.
The designs, submitted in partnership with landowner Calthorpe Estates, feature a 37-storey building providing 462 rental homes.
A mix of one, two and three-bedroom homes will be provided on rental terms of up to three years. Amenities within the development will include a roof terrace, 24-hour gym, co-working space and resident lounges, plus 230 cycle parking spaces.
Moda has already announced plans to deliver a major new urban community with up to 1,600 homes and £6m of public realm at New Garden Square. The first phase of that masterplan is currently under construction and will see 392 homes available for rent later this year.
James Blakey, planning and engagement director at Moda Group, said: “These plans represent a huge step forward for the next phase of the New Garden Square masterplan, bringing us closer to delivering additional much-needed, high-quality new homes for Edgbaston, with substantial public space next to Edgbaston Village Metro station.
“Our partnership working with Calthorpe Estates, the local community and our investors and stakeholders plus Birmingham City Council will deliver something that is transformational not just for Edgbaston and Birmingham but also for the wider Midlands region.”
Ralph Minott, masterplanning and development director at Calthorpe Estates, added: “The New Garden Square masterplan reinforces our commitment to Birmingham’s ‘Our Future City’ framework, putting residential and business communities at the heart of our vision for Edgbaston by ensuring green and active neighbourhoods for multi-generational living, health and wellbeing.”
