Summary - 40-41 MacDonald Street, Birmingham, B5 6TG B5 6TG
1 bed 1 bath Distribution Warehouse
Flexible mixed-use site with on-site parking and strong transport links.
Freehold two-storey industrial unit with large internal volume
This substantial freehold distribution warehouse in Digbeth offers a rare mix of large industrial volume and on-site residential accommodation, positioned directly on a main road with excellent city and motorway links. The ground floor provides heavy-duty features—solid concrete floor, three-phase electricity, high ceilings and a mezzanine—suitable for warehousing, light manufacturing or gym/fitness use. A secure loading bay and forecourt parking for multiple vehicles are valuable city-centre assets.
The first-floor has been converted into residential accommodation and is shown in the sales particulars as a multi-room apartment; note there is conflicting bedroom information in the dataset (marketing text refers to a five-bedroom conversion while supplied field data lists one bedroom). The property is part income-producing, offering immediate rental potential alongside longer-term redevelopment or owner-occupation options.
Buyers should weigh clear positives against material downsides. The site sits inside Birmingham’s Clean Air Zone and in a very deprived area with high crime statistics, which can affect occupier appeal and certain commercial uses. Flooding risk is described as medium; buyers should commission surveys and insurance cost checks. The building also requires modernization in places — suitable for investors or occupiers who can capitalise on flexibility and scale.
Overall this is a high-potential urban industrial asset for an investor or business needing large, well-serviced internal volumes, secure parking and direct road access, provided the purchaser factors in remediation, security and running-cost considerations.
