Jewellery Quarter 400-apartment scheme reaches completion

Andy Street, the Mayor of the West Midlands, said: “It was brilliant to visit the Hockley Mills site and see first-hand yet more brownfield land in the West Midlands that has been transformed into quality housing for local people.

“It is schemes like this why our region is leading the way in regenerating brownfield land and getting on with housebuilding – to the extent that we’re now the only UK region on track to meet our housebuilding targets. This development was also the first to receive cash from our mega £4bn deal with Legal & General, showcasing how our work with the private sector is coming to fruition for the region.”

Chris Lane, development management director at Sir Robert McAlpine Capital Ventures, said: “With this development, we have created new homes that will contribute to the long-term vibrancy and growth of the local community for years to come.

“Having Goodsyard reach practical completion three months ahead of schedule while maintaining our commitment to providing only the highest quality accommodation tops off the resounding success of the project. We are immensely grateful to our construction partners and the consultants that have brought Goodsyard to life.”
