Regeneration of historic Jewellery Quarter factory building moves closer to completion

The regeneration of a former factory building in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter is progressing apace.

Located in Great Hampton Street, the scheme comprises four different buildings, one of which is listed.

The project includes the regeneration of the grade II listed former J. Ashford and Son jewellery factory building, with three further blocks.

The three and four storey build-to-rent (BTR) development will provide 158 rental homes and 10,000 sq ft of ground level commercial space.

Clegg Construction was appointed to complete the BTR project, with works due for completion early 2022.

Dave Swift, operations manager at Clegg Construction, said: “We very much enjoy working on projects that combine heritage buildings with new development to create something really special.

“We are therefore proud to be part of scheme that offers much needed residential and commercial space in the city centre. We’ve made excellent progress to reach this point and we’re very much looking forward to seeing the scheme progress to a finished product, delivering high quality rental homes in this vibrant part of the city.”
