An IYB Tour of 'The Bond: Creative Content Hub'
The Bond, on Fazeley Street, is Birmingham’s freshest creative hub, with a focus on film, media and tech.
With an October '22 completion, we extend a massive thank you not only to Oval Real Estate, but to Create Central, and to the Digbeth Estate, for taking the time to show us around.

An outstanding contemporary urban space, set around four historic buildings: Ice House, Retort House, Toll House & Gate House, the Creative Content Hub will be a place where minds meet, ideas are created and collaborations forged.
With Digbeth in the throes of a second revolution under the stewardship of Oval Real Estate, they’ve partnered with the influential industry body, Create Central, to transform the former Victorian gasworks into a state-of-the-art Google-styled campus for media businesses.
The superhub will bring together a range of diverse businesses with a speciality for content creation, technology, training and development, once again boosting Birmingham's status as a major centre for TV, gaming, digital and film production.
All this follows hot on the heels of the news that the BBC will move to Typhoo Wharf from 2026; MasterChef will settle into the neighbouring Banana warehouse from 2024; animation studios will be opening on Pickford Street; and, of course, there's Digbeth Loc Studios next door to look forward to.
