Birmingham City Centre Property Investment

For nearly 300 years, Birmingham has been breeding progressive, forward-thinkers: three times more patents came from Birmingham residents between 1760 and 1850 than any other UK city. Whilst the buildings might have changed since then, that legacy lives on.

The heart of the West Midlands and a key destination within the UK, Birmingham has blossomed into a dynamic, youthful city with the world at its feet. High-end shopping, independent indoor markets, beautiful historical landmarks, sleek cocktail bars and chic restaurants serving cuisine from around the globe come together to rival the offerings of Europe’s major cities.

Split into a number of unique ‘quarters’, each and every part of Birmingham City Centre has an individual heritage that it wears proudly on its sleeve – from the hundreds of specialist retailers in the Jewellery Quarter to the celebration of culture in the Chinese Quarter, head out in any direction and you’ll discover something new.

Interesting facts about Birmingham:

• Birmingham attracts around 34 million visitors a year.
• 90% of the UK can be reached in four hours or less from Birmingham.
• Birmingham hosts over 50 festivals every year including the Birmingham International Jazz Festival and the Flat Pack film festival.

The UK’s leading region outside of London and the South-East for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), it’s not hard to see the appeal for investors in Birmingham City Centre. Birmingham International Airport connects our city to fifty airlines operating 143 direct routes. Six universities educate our city’s 80,000 students. 5 Michelin-starred restaurants excite our palettes. It’s the home of HSBC’s UK headquarters and the 2022 Commonwealth Games. Major cultural institutions – orchestras, ballets, theatres and galleries – shake off our city’s industrial reputation to stretch our minds and inspire us for tomorrow.

In addition to what’s already here to be celebrated, £1.5bn of inward investment makes the case for investing in the city’s core offering even more credible, with price growth set to boom in line with the regeneration of the wider Smithfield, Digbeth and Eastside districts.
