A major new housing scheme in the heart of Birmingham\u2019s Digbeth district has been unveiled, promising 481 homes, commercial space, and upgraded public areas across a 1.3-acre site.<\/p>\n
The development will deliver 141 social rent homes, 147 shared ownership units, and 193 homes for private sale, alongside 9,803 sq ft of commercial space aimed at supporting local businesses and regeneration efforts.<\/p>\n
Latimer, the development arm of Clarion Housing Group, has appointed Winvic Construction as main contractor for the \u00a3112m project.<\/p>\n
Demolition of existing buildings will be carried out by PJ Careys starting in March 2026, with construction scheduled to begin in October 2026, subject to final pre-start conditions.<\/p>\n
Richard Cook, chief development officer at Clarion Housing Group said: \u201cSigning the contract with Winvic is a major step forward for this scheme and allows us to move confidently towards delivery. Digbeth is an area with a strong identity and huge potential, and this development will bring forward hundreds of much-needed new homes, with affordability at its core.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith 60% of homes delivered as affordable, including a substantial proportion for social rent, this scheme reflects Latimer\u2019s long-term commitment to inclusive growth and creating places that work for a broad range of people. We are looking forward to working closely with Winvic to deliver high-quality homes and a development that contributes positively to Digbeth\u2019s continued regeneration.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mark Jones, managing director of Multi-Room at Winvic Construction said: \u201cWe\u2019re proud to be partnering with Latimer to deliver this exciting new development in the heart of Digbeth, bringing our extensive experience in delivering complex, high-quality residential schemes in Birmingham.<\/p>\n
“Working collaboratively with Latimer and the wider project team, we will focus on delivering sustainable, high-quality homes while also creating meaningful social value designed to leave a lasting positive legacy in the local community, including employment opportunities, skills development, and support for local businesses. We look forward to starting on site and playing our part in the continued regeneration of this growing area of Birmingham.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
