Former office blocks transformed into residential schemes

Two former office blocks have been transformed into residential schemes following a £54.8m investment.

Urban Village Capital is launching Four Oaks House in Sutton Coldfield and the iconic Equipoint building in South Yardley.

Equipoint, located just four miles east of Birmingham city centre, has seen an investment of £17.5m to redevelop the first phase of the scheme, which is now valued at £40.8m. The initial phase has created 250 homes.

A planned second phase will take the Equipoint development to 410 units.

The Four Oaks House development features 52 one bedroom and 17 two-bedroom luxury apartments, which are available on a rent-only basis.

Urban Village Group chief executive Nick Sellman said: “We have completed two stunning and very individual transformations to extend the range of repurposed, residential opportunities in Birmingham.

“Equipoint is an iconic landmark that has undergone a stunning makeover and has already received a flurry of enquiries from interested parties. It provides stylish living at a very affordable price.

“Four Oaks House adds to our portfolio of luxury developments in Sutton Coldfield, which we know from past experience are very much in demand.”
