Residential developer Prosperity Group has had plans for 146 new flats in Birmingham’s Southside approved.
The scheme, on the corner of Kent and Lower Essex Street in the city’s Gay Village, will deliver a new 11-storey building including 146 cycle storage spaces to promote sustainable travel.
Prosperity Group said it has committed to ensuring the nearby Nightingale club “is not only protected, but benefits from being part of the area’s evolution in the long-term”.
Chief executive Joe Billingham said: “Kent Street is an exciting opportunity to drive local growth and prosperity in a key part of Birmingham. Southside is an area with a diverse range of cultures and communities and we’re proud to be playing our part in its evolution.
“From the Gay Village, Chinese Quarter and the developing Smithfield area, our new homes will ensure that people can not only enjoy what Southside has to offer but live as part of the vibrant community here.”
