A deal with government housing agency, Homes England<\/a> and Birmingham City Council<\/a> has been agreed to release land and create one of the city\u2019s largest developments<\/h2>\n

The development will be close to HS2 Curzon Street Station<\/a> and the Birmingham metro extension, it will see a new future being built, creating jobs for the future and encouraging economic growth in the area.<\/p>\n

The 6.02acre site at Montague Street in Digbeth<\/a> is set to be transformed into a brand new neighbourhood, with the potential for around 1,000 new homes and up to 25,000 square metres of employment space.<\/p>\n

Cabinet gave the go-ahead for negotiations after a report on the proposed sale of the site was discussed on 11 February.<\/p>\n

The economic benefit<\/h3>\n

The Curzon Masterplan area, which includes the Montague Street site, is estimated to be 36,000 jobs and 600,000 square metres of commercial floorspace, with more than 4,000 homes and \u00a31.7bn private sector investment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a huge boost and The development will deliver much-needed homes and jobs for the people of Birmingham.\u201d<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

– Ian Ward, leader of Birmingham City Council<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ian added: “In addition to providing hundreds of new homes, the deal with Homes England will create around 25,000 square metres of employment space.”<\/p>\n

Stephen Kinsella, chief land and development officer at Homes England, said: \u201cMontague Street is the fourth and final parcel of land we\u2019ve acquired in the area, creating one of the largest development sites in the city centre.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur acquisition of this site allows us to provide a significant number of additional homes in Digbeth, including affordable housing.\u201d<\/p>\n
