Plans submitted for Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter
Phase one plans for the £160m St Georges development in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter have been submitted to the city council by developer Chord Deeley.
The first stage of the 6.8-acre mixed-use development is the conversion of the Kettleworks, a former factory, into a 262,000sq ft office, residential and retail space fronting a new 60m x 50m public square. Over the next three to five years the scheme, designed by Wolverhampton-based Online Architects, will include the redevelopment of six additional sites within the Jewellery Quarter. New features will include a £15m, 151-room Ramada Encore hotel and a 100-room budget hotel, 1,145sq m (12,230sq ft) of space for restaurants and bars as well as 2,274sq m (24,470sq ft) of retail space.
Alfred McAlpine and New World Leisure have been appointed to develop and operate the hotels as a joint venture. Chord Deeley – a joint venture between Coventry-based Deeley Properties and local developer Chord – expects to begin work in late spring with phase one completed in 2010.
