Viable and deliverable, two midrises of seven and 15 storeys will transform a derelict car park on Suffolk Street Queensway, bringing 125 new homes to the plot.
The buildings will be positioned beside and to the rear of the existing 1950s Queensgate House, which itself is being converted into 67 homes and represents phase one of Queensgate Square.
Set around a communal garden and square, 56 one, 56 two, and 13 three-bed apartments – 5.6% affordability at 30% discounts – complete with high-spec kitchens and bathrooms, will be created.

At ground level on the tall building a hotel-style covered foyer, lobby and post room will be on offer, along with 76 cycles, a first-floor communal room, an office, and a small private terrace.
Access will also be available into the garden (with 16 short-stay cycles) and the entrance of the building to the rear, which will also have its own post room and an 88-space cycle store.
Queensgate Square phase one and two comes from the London-based developer The Riverlow Group, their first Midlands site. Both schemes have been designed by D5 Architects.
Subject to conditions arising from its approval, work is expected to commence in 2024.
