U+I and Calthorpe Estates want to redevelop an outdated 4ha commercial site to the west side of Birmingham along the Hagley Road in Edgbaston.

Called New Garden Square, the proposal is to build up to 400 residential apartments, 56,500 m2 of office space, a 100 bed hotel and 2,400 m2 of retail space. The development retains the existing Grade II listed buildings that front the Hagley Road.

Under the masterplan by Glenn Howells Architects, at the heart of the proposal is a 180-metre by 30-metre landscaped garden square. There is also to be car parking provision for up to 900 vehicles, maintaining the number of spaces currently available on the existing site.

U+I director Paul Patenall said: “New Garden Square is a £300m regeneration project that will transform some tired office buildings in a fabulous location in the city. If planning is granted we will be looking at delivering the first phase of the scheme early 2020, which will be perfectly timed around the planned Sprint and Metro extension transport improvements that are scheduled to stop nearby on the Hagley Road.”

Further details of the project are at newgardensquare.co.uk.
