Substantial freehold development site with building and 110 parking spaces, close to central stations..
1. Freehold site of approximately 1.43 acres (0.58 ha)
A rare, large-scale development parcel in Digbeth’s Rea Valley Urban Quarter, this 1.43-acre freehold site offers a substantial redevelopment canvas close to Birmingham city centre. The site includes an existing two-to-three storey commercial block of approximately 24,154 sq ft alongside circa 110 off-street parking spaces and a small area of green space — useful for phased delivery or retained amenity.
Transport links are a clear strength: Birmingham New Street and Moor Street stations lie within about one mile, providing frequent regional and national rail connections. The location sits amid mixed commercial and industrial activity with plentiful local amenities, making the site suitable for commercial, mixed-use or residential-led redevelopment subject to planning. Offers are invited by 12 noon on 18th September 2025.
Investors should weigh the strong development potential against clear local challenges. The immediate area is classified as very deprived with a high recorded crime rate; these factors may influence lettability, design requirements, security costs and consenting timescales. The existing mid‑20th century buildings will likely require substantial refurbishment or demolition to meet modern standards.
This opportunity suits developers and investors with experience in urban regeneration and placemaking, able to manage the social and planning complexities of a site in a busy, evolving part of Birmingham. Due diligence on planning constraints, remediation, and community engagement will be essential before committing.
