| Birmingham's Broad Street has welcomed an influx of high-rise developments in recent times - and a newcomer is set to join the skyline, while pledging to offer something different.
Development company Regal Property is behind the 47-storey, £150m apartment tower called The Essington, which will offer more than 500 flats.
Alongside the apartments, designs include a pocket park, co-working space, a cinema room, gym and yoga studio, cycle storage and one of the city's highest private dining rooms on the building's top floor.
If approved it would become the latest development of its kind to be built in Broad Street, which has been designated for tall buildings, giving a new lease of life for an area with a rather raucous past
Regal's development director Mark Holbeche told BusinessLive: "The city is hugely undersupplied with really good quality, well-managed and looked-after build-to-rent accommodation. "Having done our homework, we believe the city is still hugely undersupplied, we like to do something a little bit different and we like building tall buildings." Read the full story here. |
