Birmingham City Council has today approved plans to demolish the underutilised Smithfield House and Wolverley House and redevelop the site with 255-beds across two new hotels.
Comprising two parcels of land, separated by the pedestrianised Upper Mill Lane - which will also undergo £107,000 of public realm improvements, the site is to be developed to deliver a 12-storey, 80-bed aparthotel, and a 9-storey, 175-bed lifestyle hotel.
Each building will serve commercial ground floor uses, including cafe and restaurant space, with the addition of an enclosed rooftop terrace space in Smithfield House, and a rooftop public bar with its own independent entrance at Wolverley House.
Over three years in the making and, with the buildings struggling to attract commercial office tenants, the owners of the site have turned their attention into creating a new destination for the area, sitting as it does on the edge of the emerging Smithfield masterplan.
Lethia Holdings Ltd (freeholder of Wolverley House) and Uddingston Holdings (leaseholder of Smithfield House) are behind these now-approved plans.
