A new joint venture has been formed to lead the development of a £260 million mixed-use scheme in Birmingham. Developer Cole Waterhouse has teamed up with the UK arm of US private equity firm Taurus Investment for the Upper Trinity Street project in Digbeth.
It follows the purchase in October of five acres of land at the site which has consent to be converted into a major new development, comprising 943 apartments, a park, a new home for the Pat Benson Boxing Academy and the creation of the Museum of Youth Culture and the Birmingham Music Archive.
Designed by architecture firm Corstorphine & Wright, the designs also include live-work space, roof gardens, a 133-bedroom hotel, 60,000 sq ft of flexible commercial space, parking, skypark and the retention of the historic lock keepers cottage.
