First Phase of Work Underway for Edgbaston Mill

Work has commenced on the Edgbaston Mill site to prepare for the construction of the prestigious mixed-use development, opposite Edgbaston Cricket Ground.

The first phase of work is underway on the infrastructure and access to the nine-acre site to enable the next stage of development, which will see the construction of an impressive 41,000 sqm of office, residential, retail and leisure facilities.

A stunning artistic piazza, the same size as Victoria Square, will front the scheme to Edgbaston Road, which will provide much needed public space for all to enjoy in the area.

Richard Dickson, Associate Director for Calthorpe Estates commented, “This is a crucial step in our aim to realise the potential of this area of Edgbaston and when completed, will become a significant addition to Birmingham.

“The development will positively contribute to the regeneration of the city, helping to attract investment and provide an elegant alternative to the city centre.”

Cordwell Property Group, who have been appointed as development partners by Calthorpe Estates, will manage the development of the exciting mixed-use complex, which will provide a range of new facilities and amenities for the local area and residents.

Malcolm Wilcox, Managing Director of Cordwell Property Group said: “Cordwell are proud to have become a part of the future of Birmingham. We are committed to the delivery of a premium product within an inspiring new development which the city will be proud of.

“We will endeavour to create a lasting and sustainable destination for the area, which will provide more lifestyle opportunities for the local community.”

Redrow Homes West Midlands Limited are working with Calthorpe Estates to develop the residential scheme, which will supply 343 apartments and offer outstanding homes, designed by leading architects Ruddle Wilkinson.

Linda Androlia, Sales Director for Redrow commented: “The development offers our customers a unique cosmopolitan lifestyle with all the amenities of city living on their doorstep.

“Its superb location enhances all the benefits of a suburban lifestyle, which also boasts the coveted feature of a vast amount of public open space adjacent to the scheme for all to enjoy.”

Development work will commence in the summer and will be completed in phases, with the final completion of the scheme in 2009 to create a desirable contemporary way of living in stunning surroundings – adding to Calthorpe Estates’ impressive portfolio of projects.
