Housebuilder buys city centre site

Sherborne Wharf, Birmingham

Housebuilder Crest Nicholson has bought the second phase of a Birmingham city centre development site for £4.34m.

It has completed the purchase of the Sherborne Wharf project from brownfield developer Inland Homes, six months after buying phase one.

The two phases have consent for 233 residential units at the site, which is close to Brindleyplace.

In a separate deal also announced this morning, Inland Homes has agreed a pre-let to Premier Inn for a 107-room hotel development in Bournemouth.

Stephen Wicks, chief executive of Inland Homes, said: “These are significant transactions that demonstrate both the market-leading expertise of our planning team, as well as the appeal and variety of schemes that sit within the Inland Homes portfolio.

“At Sherborne Wharf, we have taken what was a complex site and realised significant value through this sale to one of the UK’s leading housebuilders.”

Plans for phase two will see a 10-storey and three-storey block built, while the existing two-storey Psonex House will be kept.

It will have 30 one-bed, 55 two-bed and two three-bed apartments.
