Perry Barr Residential Scheme – Phase One
A total of 1,414 brand new homes are being built on the former Birmingham City University (BCU) Teaching Campus at Aldridge Road.
Key features
The scheme includes:
- a mix of apartments and family homes
- an ‘extra care’-type facility providing housing and a variety of services for the older community
- significant areas of public space, as well as private courtyards and amenity spaces
What has happened so far?
Construction of the first 968 homes, which were built over four plots within the site, started in January 2020. It was completed in phases by the lead contractor by spring 2023.
This was followed by internal fit-out works which completed in spring 2024.
Our strategy is to achieve a balanced housing mix that meets local needs and provides a choice of tenure types.
For this reason, the council has taken the decision to retain 213 homes for council housing use, whilst the remaining homes within the development have been marketed for sale to investors and the recommended outcome is anticipated by summer 2024.
