Prospectus unveiled to promote investment opportunities in Digbeth
Birmingham City Council has unveiled a prospectus to promote the investment opportunities available across 10 development sites on 35 plots across Digbeth.
The council launched the Digbeth Prospectus at the UK Real Estate, Investment and Infrastructure Forum (UKREiiF) and contains plans for over 6,000 new homes & 300,000 sqm of commercial floorspace across Digbeth.
The Digbeth Prospectus is part of the council's Our Future City: Central Birmingham Framework 2045 regeneration vision, which plans to provide 10,000 homes in the wider Central East area.
Digbeth is surrounded by up to around £11bn of planned investment in infrastructure and major development over the next decade, including Smithfield, the Sports Quarter, Birmingham Knowledge Quarter and HS2 Curzon Street Station.
The council is seeking development partners, investment partners and occupiers for the sites in Digbeth, which range from pre-planning to advanced planning stages.
Anyone interested, whether that's developers, investors or residents, is invited to view the Digbeth Prospectus on the council's website.
Birmingham City Council unveiled The Digbeth Prospectus alongside other West Midlands local authorities as they collaborated to showcase more than £18 billion worth of investment opportunities at the UKREiiF property show in Leeds.
Councillor Sharon Thompson, Deputy Leader & Cabinet Member for Economy and Skills, said:
"Digbeth is a diverse, creative, enterprising community, home to freelancers, makers, agencies, startups and cultural venues.
"Its rapid transformation into a buzzing creative quarter and centre for TV and film production, fuelled by the BBC's new broadcast centre and MasterChef studios, is helping return the area to a position of national importance, providing much-needed high-quality jobs for this growing city.
"The Digbeth Prospectus represents the latest delivery phase of Our Future City: Central Birmingham Framework 2045 and will help bring forward over 6000 new homes and over 300,000 sqm of new workspace.
"By working with partners and stakeholders across the public and private sector we will make sure that Digbeth remains the go-to place for creative individuals and businesses."
