Ground has officially been broken on a new build-to-rent neighbourhood at 193 Camp Hill, signalling another construction start in the city.

550 new homes will be created on the former Sulzer industrial site, with six new modular buildings set to go up ranging from three to 26 storeys over several phases.

Incorporating well-being, innovation, and sustainability, the project will nurture Digbeth’s live-work-play ethos to deliver a vibrant new community containing one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and four-bedroom townhouses, all centred around 1 acre of private green garden space.

Residential amenities (21K SF+) will include a gymnasium, creche, workspaces, and rooftop terraces affording unique views over the city.

There will also be affordable units and dedicated commercial space (15K SF) for restaurants, cafes, boutiques, community start-ups, and independent retail (including rental discounts)..

The development comes from Goodstone Living, the UK BTR arm of Macquarie Asset Management, Darling Associates architects, and contractor Elements Europe.

The first building at Smith’s Garden is expected to be completed in January 2025, with the entire scheme completing in 2026.
