Developed by 10M Group and Corstorphine & Wright, the team also behind the recently-completed Apex Lofts (next door) and Fountain Lofts (Alcester Street), also in Digbeth, Sapphire Court will introduce 166 more homes to an area undergoing quite the resurgance.

H-shaped in footprint, a six- to eight-storey will be built, introducing one- & two-bed apartments and duplexes, seventeen affordable units and 166 bicycle spaces.

Warwick Street and Bradford Street will both benefit from new entrances to their respective streets, with residents also set to benefit from two large communal gardens.

Brought forward by the team developing Apex Lofts (below), next door, Sapphire Court lies within the Southern Gateway & the emerging Rea Valley Urban Quarter, which seeks to create a high quality sustainable mixed-use urban living environment.

Currently accommodating the Sapphire Conference and Banqueting Suite, the site is free to be redeveloped to provide a car-free, H-shaped, 6-8 storey residential development comprising 166 new homes & 166 cycle spaces.

Two new entrances would be created onto both Warwick Street & Bradford Street, with two large communal gardens formed alongside a residential mix of 68 one & 98 two-bedroom apartments (1-4 persons), including 18 duplexes.

Seventeen of the apartments would be made available for low-cost home ownership.

The development is 10m Group's third Birmingham development, after Apex Lofts and Fountain Works - all Digbeth-based.

Digbeth Scheme Set For Approval

10m Group are seeking the go-ahead to regenerate 215 Bradford Street with the development of Sapphire Court, a 6-8 storey new build comprising 166 homes.           

Plans have been recommended for approval and will be discussed at committee on October 14.

dndimg alt="" dndsrc="https://www.yourplaceyourspace.net/uploadedfiles/CGI%20-%20Sapphire%20Court%209.jpg" />

Brought forward by the same team developing Apex Lofts, next door, Sapphire Court lies within the emerging Rea Valley Urban Quarter neighbourhood that openly supports well-designed, sustainable resi-led regeneration with a strong insistence on greenery.

H-shaped in design, Sapphire Court would facilitate two new entrances onto Warwick Street & Bradford Street, the formation of two large communal gardens & a carefully considered residential mix of 68 one & 98 two-bedroom apartments (1-4 persons), including 18 spacious duplexes.

dndimg alt="" dndsrc="https://www.yourplaceyourspace.net/uploadedfiles/CGI%20-%20Sapphire%20Court%208.jpg" />

Predominately a car-free affair, the scheme would include 166 cycle spaces (100%), all within a vertical stacking system in the site's courtyard.

17 apartments have been agreed and are to be provided for low-cost home ownership at 20% discount on market value.

The existing site, containing three mismatched buildings (Sapphire Conference and Banqueting Suite; a single-storey brick build; and a two-storey clothing manufacturing building) would be demolished and relocated for the scheme to commence.

10m Group and the architects, Corstorphine + Wright, are also well advanced in its Apex Lofts project, next door - as seen at the bottom of the page.

Plans are recommended for approval and will be discussed at committee on October 14, at 11 am.
