New apartments, offices and a thriving hub of independent traders, retailers and cafés are all set to be built at a major new mixed-use scheme in Birmingham city centre.
And the developer behind the project at the old Axis Square site said it hoped the scheme would address the "chronic undersupply" of housing in central Birmingham for the next generation of workers attracted to the city's burgeoning business community.
Cheshire-based Vita Group is leading the scheme at the now vacant land, in Holliday Street, after announcing it had completed a deal to buy the four-acre plot next to the Mailbox complex last month.
