Jewellery Quarter site with potential development plans on the market

A Birmingham site in the Jewellery Quarter has been put on the market, with permission in place for a five-storey development featuring 34 apartments and two commercial units.

Located at 92-95 Carver Street, the 9,700 sq ft site is surrounded by residential and commercial buildings, just half a mile from the Jewellery Quarter Metro and Rail station.

The development will replace a cluster of existing commercial buildings, with planning permission granted in August 2024 for the demolition and construction of a mixed-use scheme.

Proposed residential and commercial scheme

The project will include two ground-floor commercial units, offering office or retail space, alongside the residential units.

Harris Lamb’s residential team has been instructed to sell the site.

Josie Hobbs from Harris Lamb said: “We are expecting a great deal of interest in this opportunity from developers keen to deliver an exciting residential scheme in a thriving part of Birmingham. The Jewellery Quarter is a highly desirable area with a huge number of independent restaurants, bars and cafes, while every amenity the City Centre has to offer is just a short walk or a brief tram journey away.

“The site is currently made up of a cluster of commercial buildings set across two structures that include warehouse and office spaces. Planning permission was secured in August 2024 for the demolition of these buildings and the construction of a five-storey mixed-use development in their place, to comprise 34 apartments and two ground-floor commercial units for Class E use, which provides a broad spectrum of potential to offer the space for office or retail use.

“No affordable housing provision requirements have been placed on the approved scheme, with an affordable workspace strategy having been agreed with the Council instead, further cementing the site’s potential as a key hub for young professionals.”
