HARRIS LAMB INSTRUCTED ON JEWELLERY QUARTER SITE WITH APPROVAL FOR 34-APARTMENT SCHEME

Residential agents at Harris Lamb have placed a prime Birmingham opportunity on the market, with permission in place to build a complex of 34 apartment and two commercial units.

The business anticipates significant interest from developers keen to bring forward the scheme, which is located in the heart of the city’s historic Jewellery Quarter.

The site, 92-95 Carver Street, covers an area of around 9,700 sq ft set in 0.22 acres and is flanked by residential and commercial buildings. Located just half a mile from the Jewellery Quarter Metro and Rail station, it benefits from excellent transport links, with Birmingham New Street Station less than two miles away, Birmingham International Airport 14 miles away and Junction six of the M6 just three miles away, providing easy access to the UK motorway network.

Josie Hobbs of the Residential Land team 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 of 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,” she added.
