This two block office destination will now see the delivery of a ‘BREEAM Outstanding’ project offering 218,000 sq ft of flexible workspace, public realm improvements, six commercial units, and a state-of-the-art rooftop garden.
Brought forward by City Realty Ltd, and driven by Holland Lloyd, Lambert Smith Hampton and Corstorphine + Wright, the plans aim to revive the area by delivering a truly mixed-use district.

BUILDINGS 1 & 2
The main building [1] to Upper Gough Street, a 9-storey influenced by the former façade of St. Thomas Church, will wrap along the street and will feature open plan offices, reception & up to five commercial units around its boundary; while a shared basement will offer vehicular access for 20 from Marshall Street, cycle parking, showers, changing facilities, and a café unit.
The building also includes a set back upper floor, allowing for a state-of-the-art roof garden boasting panoramic views across Birmingham.
The second building [2], a red brick affair influenced by the existing 93-99 Holloway Head - coming forward in Phase 2 - tops out at 10 floors onto Marshall Street and 9-storeys to its western end.
Its basement level includes a loading bay, plant rooms and one commercial unit, with open plan offices also on the upper levels.

NEW LANDSCAPED PUBLIC REALM
To create greater permeability between both buildings, the project introduces an exciting east-west pedestrian route that’ll connect the existing Chapmans Passage with Marshall Street & to St. Thomas’ Church & The Peace Garden - one of Birmingham’s most historic of buildings.
This new space would then offer the real potential for cafes and restaurants to open up shop here.
