Morris Homes secures planning consent for £24m Jewellery Quarter scheme
MIDLAND-based housing developer Morris Homes has secured a boost to its portfolio after winning planning permission for more than 100 new homes in Birmingham.
The firm is bringing 105 new homes to the city after gaining consent for a second apartment building at its multi-million pound development in the Jewellery Quarter.
The company is investing £24.3m in building the one and two bedroom apartments at The Quarter. This next phase will be available to purchase in the autumn and the firm is hoping interest will be high following the completion of the first phase of the scheme.
Morris launched the site in 2011 and the project has seen the company invest heavily in the local community, with facilities including a multi-purpose health centre with GP consulting rooms and a minor surgery facility, a pharmacy and secure underground parking.
Cindy Cade, regional sales director at Morris, said: “The apartments at The Quarter have proven a popular choice with young professionals and investors looking for a contemporary property in a key location in the heart of Birmingham, and this announcement means we can get moving on the next phase of the build.
“The Quarter not only offers high quality properties, but also plays an important role in the development of the area, having brought much needed health care facilities to the local community.”
Once on sale the apartments at the site will be available with the Government’s Help to Buy scheme, which means buyers can get on to or move up the property ladder using just a 5% deposit.
