A substantial freehold commercial building of approximately 8,500 sq ft in Digbeth’s east-side regeneration zone, offered as a strategic development opportunity (STP) or owner-occupier purchase. The property spans basement, ground and first floors and sits directly adjacent to the canal towpath and original Great Western railway arches, offering a rare inner-city footprint with good visibility and secure roller-shutter access to an inner courtyard.
The building retains original features and provides flexible internal space including ground-floor showroom/office fronting Great Barr Street, first-floor warehouse/showroom extending into the railway arches, and basement accommodation. The site is well-located for city centre links (approx. 0.5 miles to Birmingham City Centre) and sits near proposed transport improvements and significant residential and student development, which supports future reuse or redevelopment (subject to planning).
Material considerations: the property is in a high-crime, deprived area and will require planning consent for most change-of-use or redevelopment schemes; it forms part of a wider hybrid planning application (2020/03634/PA) but any new proposal will need confirmation with the local planning authority. The setting is urban with limited external amenity and no private garden; interested parties should allow for refurbishment and conversion costs and seek EPC and full legal/title information.
This asset will suit investors or owner-occupiers seeking a large, adaptable canal-side building with redevelopment upside within a rapidly regenerating district. It offers strategic scale and proximity to planned transport and residential growth, balanced by the need to manage planning, security and refurbishment requirements.
