BIRMINGHAM SMITHFIELD (PHASE 1)
Birmingham Smithfield is a new £1.9bn city quarter set to be crafted into a sustainable and buzzing residential, leisure & entertainment district.
Phase I will introduce new builds and tie Southside, Digbeth, and the city centre together at the earliest opportunity with a coherent new public realm: Market Square, Upper Smithfield Walk, and Manor Square.
Manor Square will sit above the buried remains of the de Birmingham family manor house and moat & will be celebrated as the Birthplace of the City with a landscaped space for live performances, arts and culture, festivals, pop-ups & night time excitement.
A new MARKET, which will be split into two buildings, will be introduced in front of Manor Square. The Indoor Market will consist of Fish and Meat; Dining Hall; restaurant and event spaces and the Open and Rag Market.
Other new builds coming to Phase I include a commercial office building adjacent to Manor Square. The G+11 storey building features a Square-facing terrace with street-level frontages to Manor Square and Central Boulevard (more below).
429 one, two & three-bedroom family housing will be introduced at the new Smithfield Gardens Neighbourhood, along with a gymnasium and flexible retail. The site fronts onto Central Boulevard, a major transit and public transport spine that will open up the entire site and connect surrounding neighbourhoods.
There will also be a small ENERGY CENTRE (Plot 4A3) on Dean Street:
More soon.
