Queens Hospital Close Site Set For Major Mixed-Use Development


An Environmental Impact Assessment Screening Request has been submitted for the upcoming redevelopment of Queens Hospital Close, Bath Row - with builds ranging from seven, up to 30 storeys.

The proposal would see two new 'u-shaped' blocks erected on site (yellow and green), replacing five existing 90s-built student accommodation buildings, with up to 179 build-to-rent (BTR) apartments, in a new 7-10 storey new build, and up to 766 purpose-built student accommodation within a 7-c.30 storey tower. 

The existing site also includes two Grade II* listed properties (pink) that make up the Birmingham Accident Hospital (East Block and West Block). These highly significant heritage buildings are to be retained, refurbished, and converted to become a historic focal point of the new scheme.

These eagerly awaited plans are expected to be submitted by late May onwards.

The project is being brought forward by Tiger Developments, Aventicum, and renowned architect, Chapman Taylor, with consultancy from Turley.

WEST BLOCK (Block C):

West Block has scope to be converted into a communal mixed-use building that could feasibly house a market space.
