Smith’s Garden is a 550-bed build-to-rent (BTR) community spread over six new modular buildings ranging from three to 26 storeys.

The largest modular BTR scheme in the country, Smith's Garden will be centred around one acre of private green space and will incorporate well-being, innovation, and sustainability, nurturing Digbeth’s live-work-play ethos.

An eclectic mixture of one- to three-bedroom apartments, along with standalone four-bedroom family townhouses, will be on offer here.

This will be complemented by over 21K SF of amenities, including a gym, crèche, workspaces, and rooftop terraces, in addition to the central greenery.

There will also be affordable units & dedicated commercial spaces (c. 15K SF) for the likes of restaurants, cafes, boutiques, start-ups, and independent retailers to set up shop here.

Smith's Garden comes from Goodstone Living, the UK BTR arm of Macquarie Asset Management, with Darling Associates designing the scheme.

Camp Hill Gardens Approved; First Major Digbeth Development Set to Kick Off?

Today is a significant day for Camp Hill Gardens, 193 Camp Hill, as amended plans were unanimously approved today (18 August).

The major placemaking development could, at long last, become the catalyst for Digbeth and the wider area. 

dndimg dndsrc="https://www.freetimepays.com/uploadedfiles/CGI%20-%20Camp%20Hill%20Gardens...jpg" />

Setting the ball rolling for the wider area, Camp Hill Gardens will see six new buildings ranging from three to 26 storeys, creating a brand new community of 550 build-to-rent (BTR) apartments and townhouses.

Incorporating wellbeing, innovation, and sustainability, the placemaking project from Goodstone Living, the UK BTR arm of Macquarie Asset Management, will be set around a one-acre landscaped garden, the largest private garden in the city.

A fine selection of studios, one- and three-bedroom apartments, and four-bedroom townhouses, will be provided, in addition to 22,000K SF of dedicated commercial spaces that will further nurture Digbeth's live-work-play ethos.

This will contain areas for restaurants, cafés, boutiques, start-ups and independent retail; local companies will also benefit from 50% rental discounts.

The site, once occupied by Sulzer before they relocated to Birmingham Business Park, has already been demolished and works are ongoing to make the site construction ready, which is anticipated to begin soon now that permission has been granted.

The site will be developed by Goodstone Living, the UK build-to-rent (BTR) property arm of Australian mega-company, Macquarie Asset Management, for its first BTR development.
