One Eastside, a Birmingham skyscraper

Work on one of Birmingham’s first skyscrapers is underway!

Called One Eastside, the 51-storey residential building is set to boast the highest rooftop terrace in the city when it tops out at over 154m tall in 2026.

The scheme, by local specialist residential developer, Court Collaboration, is being delivered on the doorstep of the new £1b HS2 station at Curzon Street and will provide 667 new build- to-rent homes across two fantastic buildings.

All-in, One Eastside will feature a mix of one and two-bedroom apartments, with high-quality private amenities including residential gardens, courtyard spaces, a gym, a cinema, and a residents’ sky lounge offering incredible views across the city. Take a look here for more.

One Eastside is the first scheme coming out of Court Collaboration’s Joint Venture with Sir Tony Gallagher’s family office.

The beautiful apartments will be fitted with gorgeous kitchens by Porcelanosa and appliances from Samsung. Porcelanosa are also providing fully tiled en-suite bathrooms, whilst Project FFE will oversee fitted wardrobes to all bedrooms. And these are just a selection of a broad range of top-class fittings and appliances.

In November 2022, Court Collaboration agreed a £200m Forward Funding partnership with Pension Insurance Corporation (PIC). This secured a collaboration on the largest economic residential deal in the city’s history, helping to deliver one of the Midlands’ first official skyscrapers.

Following the announcement, initial groundworks commenced onsite with plans for a 46- month build programme led by Midgard Ltd. of the JRL Group.

 

One Eastside will create over 300 new jobs, as well as providing opportunities for hundreds of local students. Work placements, and on-site courses and experience, will be provided at One Eastside via a soon-to-be-announced Academy, part of Court Collaboration’s commitment to supporting future talent in the city and the next generation of professionals.

Anthony McCourt

Anthony McCourt, CEO of Court Collaboration, said: “One Eastside is another huge vote of confidence in the city of Birmingham, which is riding high on the back of the ‘Be Bold’ achievement of the Commonwealth Games. It also proves that an SME like Court Collaboration, ably helped by financial partners such as Sir Tony Gallagher, can take on big challenges and deliver. Birmingham moving forward can’t and won’t be stopped and the project team deserve real credit. They have realised this ambition and we all hope this is the start of a wave of skyscraper living in our brilliant city.

“After many months of collective effort and brilliant team work, it’s incredibly exciting to be starting works for One Eastside. Our thanks go to all our partners on this truly collaborative approach, as well as to Birmingham City Council, who have continued to believe in this city and back ambition. One Eastside will help provide the sustainable city living homes for those who will keep Birmingham and beyond prospering as we continue to build confidence after such a challenging few years.”
