Plans have been submitted for the regeneration of a historic Birmingham factory to create a new home for the BBC.
City developer Stoford is leading the project to revamp the old Typhoo Wharf warehouse in Digbeth to make a base for various departments of the broadcaster including The Archers, Asian Network, Newsbeat and local Midlands radio and TV news teams. The BBC is planning to relocate from its current home in the Mailbox to the new 84,000 sq ft custom-built centre in 2025.
Developers claim the landmark site in Bordesley Street will be one of Birmingham's first net-zero, carbon-in-construction office buildings.
