51-storey BTR tower set to be Birmingham’s tallest

Court Collaboration has revealed plans for a 51-storey residential tower at its One Eastside development in Birmingham, next to HS2’s Curzon Street station.

As tipped by EG in November, the residential development proposes the tallest skyscraper in the city, towering over the previous record of 42 storeys set by Moda Living at The Mercian in Broad Street.

The £160m scheme seeks to deliver 667 build-to-rent apartments, with a guest lounge, gym and dining areas.

Court Collaboration acquired the former Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry building, located on Jennens Road and Chapel Street, from Birmingham Metropolitan University at the start of 2018.

The developer has been engaged in pre-application consultation with Birmingham City Council for the past nine months and expects to lodge an application imminently. Construction is expected to commence around November 2019, with completion expected by the end of 2022.

Court Collaboration is a residential developer based in Birmingham. It manages a portfolio of more than £1bn residential developments across some 15 sites.
