Plans Submitted For Over 30 New Apartments In Birmingham

Construction News Image
Sama Investment Group has submitted plans for new 31 residential apartments and three spacious commercial units as part of a mixed-use regeneration scheme known as Highgate Corner on the outskirts of Birmingham city centre.

Located to the north of the iconic Balti Triangle, the proposals would see the transformation of a vacant brownfield site to deliver a new residential community on the corner of Highgate Road, Ladypool Road, and Stratford Road.

The scheme, which includes rooftop gardens for the residents, has been designed by ADG Architects.

Alongside much-needed new homes, the project, known as the Ladypool Road development, could provide opportunities for independent shops, cafes, or restaurant as part of a vibrant and active street level. It would also act as a catalyst for wider regeneration in the local area, with enhancements to Highgate Road forming part of the scheme.

Bilal Ahmed, Executive Chairman & Founder at Sama Investments, said: "I am excited that we have submitted plans for our Ladypool Road development. It could be a fantastic project on a popular street within Birmingham’s famous Balti Triangle area and one that we would be extremely proud of. It would see us transform a brownfield site to deliver much-needed new homes as well as local growth and prosperity.

"Ladypool Road could form a key part of our exciting development pipeline for 2025 as we continue to deliver high-quality places for people to live. This is another example of our ambition to deliver for the city."

The apartments and commercial units are now available for sale.
