Property development in Birmingham is enjoying a golden period with landmark schemes being revealed on what seems like a monthly basis.
At our first networking lunch of 2022, to be held at Laurent Perrier Champagne Room at The Cube on Thursday February 147 from midday, we’ll talk to Marcus Hawley, founder and managing director of Birmingham-based property developer Cordia Blackswan about why Birmingham is booming now, the importance of placemaking and people-centric design and how his company is seeking to address the diverse and growing housing needs of the city, including BTR and shared-ownership schemes.

In 2009, Marcus founded Blackswan Property, which he developed to become one of the most active property developers in the Midlands.
Blackswan’s track record and placemaking vision caught the attention of international property powerhouse, Cordia. The multiple international award-winning real estate group extended an invitation for Blackswan to become part of the Cordia family. In 2020, Cordia Blackswan was born resulting in the acceleration of existing property development projects, a number of exciting new site acquisitions and a 2,500 unit pipeline in the next few years.
With a passion for going beyond the red line, Marcus has a placemaking-led development ethos. Together with a focus on heritage, sustainability and regeneration, people-centric design is at the heart of all Cordia Blackswan developments.
