U+I Group has revealed plans for a £300 million regeneration project in Birmingham.

An application for the New Garden Square mixed-use scheme has been submitted to the city council.

Proposals involve creating hundreds of new apartments and commercial space on a 10-acre site on the west side of the city.

Designed by Glenn Howells Architects, features include up to 400 residential apartments, 56,500 square metres of office space, potential for a 100 bed hotel and 2,400 square metres of retail space. In addition, the development will retain the existing Grade II listed buildings fronting the Hagley Road.


A 180-metre by 30-metre landscaped garden square will feature in the centre of the developmebt, comprising of interlinked gardens and mature trees to create public open spaces. New car parking for up to 900 vehicles will also be created.

The scheme is being developed in partnership with Calthorpe Estates.

Paul Patenall, U+I Director, said: "New Garden Square is a £300 million regeneration project that will transform some tired office buildings in a fabulous location in the city. If planning is granted we will be looking at delivering the first phase of the scheme early 2020, which will be perfectly timed around the planned Sprint and Metro extension transport improvements that are scheduled to stop nearby on the Hagley Road."
