Birmingham Property Investment & New Developments in Birmingham

So why is Birmingham such an attractive investment prospect for 2019 and beyond?

The fastest growing city in the UK over the last decade with a population rise of 100,000, Birmingham is using this momentum to drive progress across the commercial, retail, residential and infrastructure sectors. It’s this momentum that will contribute to a rising Birmingham population expected to hit 1.3 million by 2039.

From HS2 to the Midlands Metro Extension, Birmingham is building on well-established transport links to deliver a new level of connectivity. 105 Broad Street is ideally located to benefit from key projects, with easy access to Birmingham New Street via Five Ways rail station and the nation’s motorway network.

Midlands Metro is a huge boost for the city, running directly through the city and connecting key destinations in the region such as Wolverhampton and Wednesbury. With two phases of extensions planned, the full line is expected to be open in 2021 and will be part of the Big City Plan for Birmingham, servicing the Eastside around Digbeth and the Westside around Five Ways.

The opportunity to host the 2022 Commonwealth Games once again puts the city in the global spotlight. Already attracting over 41 million visitors per year, the Games will attract an additional 700,000 visitors and around 1.5 billion viewers. Crucially, the Birmingham Commonwealth Games are projected to provide nearly £750 million increased GDV for Birmingham.

Other major developments on the horizon include Birmingham Smithfield, Paradise and Arena Central – planned following huge investment and providing a mix of commercial, residential and retail space. As part of the ‘Birmingham Masterplan’, these developments will assist in delivering 1.5 million square metres of new floorspace, £2.1 billion to the economy each year and continue to develop Birmingham as a truly smart city.
