Snow Hill Wharf | Shadwell Street | Residential | 3-21fl | 67m | U/C

Thanks Reiss!! Just taken a look at the elevations of the 21 storey tower. Looks very much like the 103 Colmore Row design.

that looks awesome!!!

This looks like a quality proposal - the tower will be circa 66m according to the elevational drawings.

Looks like they've opted to submit the DAS by post. Hopefully will be uploaded soon.

Appearance

6.81 The façade has been rigorously examined to test options for ventilation, rhythm,
proportion and depth in accordance with a variety of orders, colours and tones.

6.82 The two central buildings on Shadwell Street (Blocks C and D) have been given more
buff brick to lighten the overall composition and reflect a little more light into the
courtyards from these facades.

6.83 The tallest building (Block B) is split into three forms, the outer two have a light grey
brick and the centre form is expressed as a darker ‘core’. The tallest end of the building
will have its floor bands expressed as a slightly darker horizontal stripe using the same
brick with a darker mortar.

6.84 The vertical expression of Block B is emphasised by a central split in the building which
will created through glazing and will be prominent from the base of the building to its
crown

That’s the one I spoke about in the development thread. Expected it in to go in the system in Jan if I’m honest.

Cheers Reiss. Happy to see whats going here. How many units are talking here? Hope to see more images soon.

Its 404 as in the application josh.

I’ve heard these guys see Birmingham and especially this area as the area to be! One of many sites they’re working on now I can now be a bit more open about it. They’re very focused in and around the city and aim to hit the London type moving to the city and especially targeting the growth due to hs2. Bigger things to come.

Let’s not forget also that technically St Joseph’s is to us now what Crosby Homes was in in the 90’s and noughties.

Owned by same group etc. When the market stalled the took Crosby away and replacing them with St Joseph’s now. They’ll be here until the market dries up but they should stick around for the next 10-15 years at least.

Oh Its Berkeley homes development, Quality will be very very good.

Back in June it became apparent they had acquired land on Shadwell Street. Five months later and that planning application has duly arrived :banana: Revisiting the articles on Property Week I shared, and in The Times, it mentions, as Birmingham stated above, they're firmly dipping their toes in the Second City with as many as five other schemes on the table, each with up to 500 homes in the pipeline.

I wonder if they're eyeing up the area around Steelhouse Lane once BCH moves in early/late 2022, to form a densely-populated resi area

Not to mention they’ve already got a team in place for this and demolition is due to start before the new year apparently for a summer start next year.

Good Lord. Not a company that likes to hang around then. Thank you for all the information Birmingham. And good to see you back!!

I like it and these guys sound genuine when it comes to developing in the city. The scheme is far bigger than I anticipated. Very pleased.

Birmingham, any hints about other locations that St Josephs are interested in other than the GQ?

Do you know something we don't Pep?

Edit : Reiss, how did you find the app for this? It's not in the most recent weekly list.

Ha. It would be wise to have some forward thinking on what will be some of the most desirable land in the city, in the next few years

They’ve had a base for about 12 months or so just outside the city so they’ve been working on it and others I presume.

Nice. Good to see development on the Northern side of the CC also..

City centre is really going to see huge changes in the next few years!!

Hey Ralph, bookmark this link, this is updated daily with recently registered applications, this scheme and most of the Gun Quarter comes under Aston, but the most of the City Centre and Jewellery Quarter fall under Ladywood, Digbeth falls under Nechells

Great to see another rundown part of the city centre being redeveloped. Its also nice to see an area alongside our canal network being given some TLC too.

This development looks very interesting and i love the brick. Thumbs up from me

Spotted this today too. Looks good and should be delivered given who the developer is.

Indeed - it's a signal of intent that this will be a good quality proposal on the northern side of Great Charles Street. I do fear for St Chad's though - it's meant to be a historical statement building and it's at risk of getting bullied by high rises going up around it. Snow Hill Three is already looming over it from the other side of the road. Cathedrals also need drives and parks surrounding them - I wonder if one could be cheated out of the space there one day when Charles St is inevitably downgraded?
