Birmingham City Council has unanimously approved Lendlease’s regeneration plans for the Smithfield area in Birmingham city centre. Haworth Tompkins has been working with Lendlease and Birmingham City Council on one of the plots within the wider Prior and Partners masterplan. The vision for Plot 3A is to deliver an exciting new workplace offer, with a design that celebrates its adjacency to Manor Square and its connection to Central Boulevard. With its proximity to Digbeth, the aim is to create an urban workspace which facilitates and drives a new economy, attracting and retaining skilled workers and creative entrepreneurs.
Our mixed-use and commercial project, designed in collaboration with Minesh Patel Architects,, will include over 20,000m² of office space, as well as a mix of retail and leisure facilities. The building has been designed with flexibility in mind, allowing smaller start-up businesses to stay, and grow, within the building rather than moving elsewhere in search of a larger space. The project is targeting BREEAM Excellent, WELL Building Gold and NABERS 5 Star certification for the commercial space. Congratulations to everyone involved, we are delighted to see these exciting proposals move forward.
