Birmingham’s tallest residential building approved

The frontage of 2one2 Broad Street, the 42-storey development by Moda Living

Birmingham City Council has approved the building of what will be the city’s tallest residential building, the 42-storey 2one2 Broad Street.

The 481-apartment skyscraper is being developed on the site of the former Clicks nightclub by Moda Living as a build-to-rent scheme.

It will have a range of apartment sizes, from studios to three-beds, as well as a 200-metre outdoor running track.

It proposes having tenancies of up to five years, which it believes will make it more attractive to families.

The development will include 35,000 sq ft of retail and leisure space and 30,000 sq ft of communal space.

Tony Brooks, managing director at Moda, said: “We’re confident high quality rental housing will further boost the city’s fight for talent and investment as companies realise the huge potential the Midlands has to offer.

“Renters have been poorly served by the housing market and the aim of build to rent is to change that by providing everything people need – from workspace to wellbeing – with a mix of community, security and great service.”

Backed by Apache Capital Partners, Moda Living has a £1.5bn pipeline of 6,000 rent-only apartments in city centre sites across the UK. Other schemes are currently underway in Liverpool, Leeds, Manchester, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
