A huge amount of activity is taking place, as the project team progresses with the superstructure frames which are now starting to take shape visually.

Forming an extension of the Jewellery Quarter whilst bridging the gap with the city core, the former Ludgate Hill Car Park had sat undeveloped since World War II, but will now see a bustling new £302m neighbourhood across four blocks spanning six to 39 storeys (126m).

A range of one-, two- & three-bedroom homes (36 affordable) will be available here, further boosted by vibrant street-level retail, food and drink, offices, and co-working space, delivering a destination site so close to Snow Hill Station.

All of this will be complemented by new areas of public realm, characterful public and private gardens, open-air terraces, a concierge service, a cinema room, sky lounges, and a 24/7 gym and fitness centre.

We've got this development covered: feel free to follow our updates here & here (site map). You can also follow us on X and Instagram.

The Construction of Holloway Head - February 2024

Holloway Head is being re-energised with the introduction of a new 485-home community.

Spread over four new builds, the site is well advanced and shaping up beautifully!

dndimg dndsrc="https://www.freetimepays.com/uploadedfiles/Holloway%20Head%204951.jpg" />

The site at 49 Holloway Head, just behind The Sentinels, had been a neglected eyesore for well over two decades.

In 2019, Invesco Real Estate took a punt on the area – and Holloway Head is now rising!

Spread over two phases and four buildings, the site will deliver 132 one, 345 two & 8 three-bedroom homes to cater to every lifestyle.

Complementing these will be a multitude of amenities including shared meeting rooms, workspaces, lounges, dining areas, a street-facing gymnasium, courtyards, roof terraces, and spaces for up to 57 cars (including Blue Badge & EVs) & 112 bicycles.

Phase I - two buildings of up to 14 storeys - is closing in on completion (April 2024). In addition to the homes and amenities, it is here where the Birmingham Girl Guides will call their new HQ; their facilities will include activity rooms, a common room, a main hall, and a shop.
