Glasswater Locks, Birmingham’s latest canalside destination, will transform a site full of industrial heritage with a thriving new mixed-use development.

Injecting new life into the canalside, the site will offer an appealing alternative to the buzz of the city, with seven new buildings of up to 38 storeys (123.85m).

Complementing the built environment will be a new market square and 155m of elevated shared podiums containing vibrant alfresco restaurants, bars, and cafes.

For residents, there will be a canalside club with elevated gardens, lounges, a concierge, balconies, reading and workspaces, a gym, and games and cinema room.

There will also be opportunities later down the line for interactive and public art installations.

Phase one is now beginning to rise and will see two nine-storey new builds containing up to 120 homes: Ashted Wharf and Belmont Wharf – set to complete in 2025.

Subsequent phases of Glasswater Locks include two more nine-storeys: Curzon Wharf and Cardigan Wharf; the 20-storey Cameo Works; and a signature 38-storey Glasswater Tower.

Once complete, the site will provide up to 754 homes, in a mix of 341 one, 383 two & 30 three-bedroom apartments and duplexes (37 shared ownership), catering to every lifestyle.
