Opportunity to build 14 apartments near Birmingham city centre and major stations.
Extremely large freehold site in Digbeth, central Birmingham location
Planning pre-application for 14 two-bed apartments and a commercial unit
Price £575,000; total area approximately 3,673 sq ft
Current building dilapidated — likely demolition or extensive refurbishment required
High local crime and very deprived area may affect lettability and costs
Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband; flood risk: none
Multi-story layout; approximately ten rooms across site footprint
Developer experience recommended due to planning and urban regeneration risks
This exceptionally large freehold site sits in Digbeth, Birmingham, offered with a planning pre-application for 14 two-bedroom apartments plus a commercial unit. Its central location provides excellent access to Birmingham New Street, Moor Street and key city-centre amenities, making the site suitable for residential-led redevelopment with ground-floor commercial use.
The property is currently a derelict mid-century commercial building with graffiti, dilapidation and standard ceiling heights. The site presents clear redevelopment potential but will require full demolition or extensive refurbishment, with associated costs and planning risk to factor into purchase decisions.
Buyers should note the immediate area is classified as very deprived with high local crime rates; this will influence lettability, insurance and management requirements. Broadband and mobile signals are excellent, and flood risk is low, which supports residential occupation once redeveloped.
This opportunity suits experienced developers or investors prepared to manage urban regeneration challenges, secure detailed planning consent, and factor in remediation, security and ongoing management for successful conversion.
