Should this attractive building make it out of the ground, it would not only complete a scruffy corner at Masshouse, but it would also face Curzon Street HS2. Full approval has been granted today for 10 homes, a lobby, lounge, and two street-facing commercial units. #Birmingham

Approval for Hockley Gate: 279 homes across four 5-6 storey buildings, replacing 1950s industrial units. Plans include: 🌿 Courtyard + rooftop terraces 🏢 Amenities & public commercial space 🎨 JQ creative workspace 😍 Restoration of 175 Hockley Hill into 2 homes. #Birmingham

Landmark Properties, the largest student housing developer in the USA, has been granted approval for a 21-storey tower at 120 Suffolk Street. Marking their first UK project, the .@GlancyNicholls-designed scheme will bring 506 bedspaces to the car-park site. #Birmingham

Built late 60s/early 70s, the M5 at West Bromwich was a major feat of engineering. Birmingham & the region has so much to be proud of when it comes to engineering & construction. Shout about them & #LookUpBirmingham - a walk along the canal under the bridge is quite an experience

Engineering excellence dating back to 1829, with the Thomas Telford inspired Galton Bridge in Smethwick. Cast-iron masterpiece with a single span of 151 feet over the Birmingham Canal New Main Line. #LookUpBirmingham will promote this cultural excellence on new digital map.

Phases 3 and 4 of Port Loop development have progressed swiftly. Phase 3 handed over ahead of schedule by Keon Homes and Cameron Homes. #LookUpBirmingham

Small break in the recent bad weather and even blue skies gave @Daniel_Sturley the chance to capture Paradise reflections on a very watery Centenary Square #LookUpBirmingham

For those studying engineering, for us geeks & for those with engineering cultural interests, Birmingham & the West Mids has so much to showcase & is missing a trick. We call out to the leaders of engineering - help us complete our digital map of the very best of engineering.

Canal towpaths @CanalRiverTrust @CRTWestMidlands are proving an excellent way of getting up close to work around the city to accommodate HS2 and other developments. This we believe is part of Curdworth Box - are we right? Would be great to see some QR links at locations.

Martineau Place was acquired in 2021 by Henley Investments and Sixth Street (*the applicant*). Future apps will be submitted via Outline with all matters reserved, except for the two tallest buildings where appearance and scale will be provided.

An EIA Screening Report has been lodged for the 10-year phased redevelopment of Martineau Place. Buildings of up to 6⃣0⃣ storeys are planned, introducing up to 2,000 new homes (mix yet to be determined), c260K SF offices, c20K SF retail & a brand new public realm. #Birmingham

Whilst Digbeth is changing and building for the future, people, investors and community are all watching. We have to work together to realise future economic growth and success. #LookUpBirmingham

If you haven't done so already, highly recommend a visit to The Prince of Wales Pub (back of Symphony Hall & ICC). Opened its doors in 1858 and still serving great ales like @BCA_RealAle - its even now got a dart board to add to a great atmosphere & hospitality #LookUpBirmingham
