Approval Given at Former Queen's Hospital, Bath Row

The former Queen’s Hospital on Bath Row is to be reimagined with a 31-storey student tower, two residential blocks, and the conversion of two heritage assets.

dndimg dndsrc="https://www.yourplaceyourspace.net/uploadedfiles/Queens%20Hospital1.png" />

 

Plans were approved late last week for the transformation of the former Queens Hospital on Bath Row.

The McLaren Property and Aventicum partnership will demolish the outdated 1990s canal-side site and replace it with contemporary new builds, creating 728 student beds & 189 Build to Rent apartments.

dndimg dndsrc="https://www.yourplaceyourspace.net/uploadedfiles/google,apsqhc.png" />

dndimg dndsrc="https://www.yourplaceyourspace.net/uploadedfiles/Queens%20Hospital8.png" />

The tallest building on site will rise to 31 storeys and will accommodate 707 student beds – 477 clusters & 230 studios – and a private courtyard.

To the rear will be two 10-storey residential builds, introducing 189 new rental homes – 87 one, 95 two & 7 three beds; 7.8% affordable – along with a terraced woodland garden.

With an emphasis on well-being and movement, each build will be set around the site’s two soon-to-be refurbished Grade II listed properties: East and West block – as seen below.

The 1840s-built East block (first & second below) will be converted into 52 larger post-grad student studios; while the 1873-built West block (third below) will offer amenities for both the BTR and PBSA, along with a café and a commercial unit.

With spill-out space envisaged around these two assets, an enhanced public realm will be made to Bath Row, providing fluidity in and out of this vibrant central setting, further boosted by a woodland community garden and social space.

Here is a selection of construction photos from December and January included in the main gallery for this feature project:

Approval for 100 Broad Street: Second Time Lucky?

100 Broad Street went to Birmingham Council's planning committee today where it was approved by 10-1.

The scheme comes from Ropemaker Properties Ltd c/o Urban Vision Real Estate, with designs coming from Howells.

dndimg dndsrc="https://www.yourplaceyourspace.net/uploadedfiles/CGI-100-Broad-Street-1.png" />

 

The modernist asymmetrical 33-storey tower (103m) will introduce 294 build-to-rent apartments and duplexes, with street-level commercial and an abundance of resident amenities.

134 one, 142 two & 18 three-bedroom apartments and duplexes (43-130 sqm; 1-6 persons) will be on offer, with 72% of homes being dual aspect, and nine 'affordable' homes.

The site famously already benefits from planning consent, with a 61-storey – which was quickly deemed unviable to build – approved back in 2019 under different ownership.

These credible plans, however, have been designed on the principles of viability, deliverability, and buildability, and will now become one of the city's most sustainable (EPC B, Wired Score “Platinum”, and HQM 4.5*).

Residents will benefit from 833 sqm of external spaces at levels 1, 19 & 25, with communal terraces, private terraces, and shared gardens for growing.

There will also be 777 sqm of internal facilities such as workspaces, a gym and yoga studio, meeting rooms, reservable dining areas, a cinema and gaming room, and a 338-space cycle hub.

Bringing added vitality will be opportunities for shops, cafes, and restaurants at street level, plus a new c.£300K public realm with nineteen new trees (49 in total throughout the scheme) and outdoor seating.

100 Broad Street is expected to be constructed in pre-cast concrete with a series of staggered window openings, dressed in bronze-coloured metal and fittings, with chevron textured patterning.

Garrison Circus plans, including a 37 storey tower, have been approved

Ambitious plans for four new buildings ranging from five to 37 storeys at Garrison Circus, a new gateway for Digbeth, have been approved.

The 3-acre site, largely derelict and in a poor state and exacerbated by vandalism in recent years, is free to be reanimated with a 'viable and effective new use'.

Ambitious developer SAMA Investments is behind plans to demolish the site, except for the Myona building frontage, before replacing them with four new builds comprising 546 homes (around 46 affordable) & 710 units of purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA).

The transformed city gateway will introduce two PBSA builds of 5-7 & 16 storeys to Watery Lane Middleway and Little Edward Street, providing one- and two-bed studios, 5-8-bed clusters, and a total of 415 sqm and 1,850 sqm of internal and external amenity space.

The residential aspect will introduce an 11 & a 37 storey to Great Barr Street, in a range of studios, one-, two- & three-bed homes, two outdoor roof terraces in each (total: 1,254sqm), a courtyard, workspaces, cinema room, shared lounges, and a gym (total: 2,412 sqm).

Each build at Garrison Circus will be set around a minimum £7.05M of new green infrastructure, featuring public squares, pocket parks, gardens and courtyards, with fees factored in to this.

Myona, which has historic links to Jacobs Biscuits, will introduce a new ground floor café, with upper-floor community space. It will be home to a new rear student build of 16 storeys.

These plans have been strongly informed by the City Council's aspirations for future development within the City Centre established through the draft 'Our Future City Framework 2040'.

Will SAMA have the desire to build out the site? Watch our socials for more.
