218,000 sq ft office scheme in central Birmingham gets green light

Plans for 218,000 sq ft of office space in Birmingham city centre have been given the go-ahead this morning.

Lambert Smith Hampton filed an application in March for the scheme at Upper Gough Street.

It includes two office buildings, public realm, an extension of Chapmans Passage and a car park.

The development has been designed by Corstorphine + Wright and will open up a new passageway between the city and the Peace Gardens, connecting with the existing Chapmans Passageway.

Construction on the site is expected to start in 2023.
