Birmingham’s largest ‘build to rent’ (BTR) development outside the city core has topped out. Councillor Ian Ward, leader of Birmingham City Council, joined PATRIZIA – owner and developer of the major scheme next to Edgbaston stadium – to mark the construction milestone.

The 375-apartment scheme is on an 8.6 acre site fronting Camiseta Selección de fútbol de Brasil Edgbaston road and Pershore Road.

In addition, around 15,000sqft of new retail and leisure space will be created on the ground floor to link-in with Warwickshire county Cricket Club’s new entrance plaza and landscaping scheme around its home of Edgbaston Stadium.

Cllr Ward said:

This exciting new development brings city centre conventional accommodation to Edgbaston, creating a new rental hub and providing a real alternative for those searching for greener, leafier space. It caters for Birmingham’s larger demographic that wish to live in a high-end house close to the city, yet in the stunning setting of Edgbaston and next to Cannon hill Park.

As well as delivering much needed homes in a sought-after postcode, a new entrance plaza to Edgbaston stadium and landscaped public realm – delivered in time for next summer’s commonwealth games – will enhance the environment for both visitors and the local community, cementing Warwickshire CCC’s home as a premier venue for world-class cricket.

This second major phase of redevelopment at Edgbaston is not just transformational for the Club, but to our surrounding area and the local community.

With such a big programme of matches in 2022, including the commonwealth Games, it’s wonderful that we can give the thousands of visitors a much warmer welcome to Edgbaston through the new look entrance plaza.

As well as being at the heart of our local community, we want Edgbaston to be recognised as one of the leading cricketing venues in the world and we intend to release much more exciting plans in 2022 which can help us achieve this goal.
