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.

From the below image, Ashted Wharf and Belmont Wharf have risen out of the ground, with the core at Cardigan Wharf now starting to rise.

Early preparatory works have also started on both the Curzon Wharf (9-storey) and Glasswater Tower (38-storey) plots.

Other buildings at Glasswater Locks include the 20-storey Cameo Works next to Belmont Row Works.

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