Vita seeks to create a new landmark destination for Westside and Ladywood - a dynamic hub for people to live, stay, and socialise.

While the plans will continue to evolve ahead of a third consultation later in the year, the early plans put forward have confirmed that the site will move forward with the introduction of a residential-led, mixed use development on the now-vacant site.

This would see new buildings ranging from 13 up to 49 storeys, delivering over 1,200 new homes across a range of tenures, a 300-bed aparthotel, up to 750 student beds, and a multi-level foodhall, restaurant, and retail.

All buildings would be set around an extensive new public realm and urban garden, further boosted by biodiverse wildlife & new public spaces.

Chesire-based Vita Group said last year that it hoped to reanimate and open up the site with a vibrant “neighbourhood that celebrates independent trade."

Development director Jon Weston said: "As we get closer to defining our plans, we'd like to hear your thoughts about our emerging proposal for the masterplan. The aim is to create a vibrant and inclusive neighbourhood."

A drop-in event takes place today at Spaces, in the Mailbox, from 12pm to 2.30pm and 5pm to 7pm. Alternately, an online consultation has also gone live on the Goods Station website, which will run until April 25.
