Birmingham-based developer and investor Sama Investment Group has submitted plans to redevelop 1 Lancaster Circus in Birmingham as a residential-led scheme.
Under the proposals, the former Birmingham City Council offices on the edge of Lancaster Circus Queensway and Lawson Street would be replaced with two towers of 41 and 48 storeys and include student accommodation.
Amenities would include a gym, spa and cinema, plus retail and leisure units at street level.
Bilal Ahmed, executive chairman and founder at Sama Investments, said: “The proposals will transform an underutilised site to deliver a flagship scheme for the local area and city.
“The proposals will deliver a mixed-use scheme of residential and much-needed student accommodation and support the continued growth of nearby universities, including Aston and Birmingham City University. Our plans will also help re-establish this location as a destination, offering street-level community uses and green space for residents and the wider community to enjoy, alongside a pedestrian corridor that will connect parts of the city to this area – something that has further been enhanced through the addition of a pavilion to the final plans.”
