UK: Kier Property has submitted a planning application to Birmingham City Council for a build-to-rent (BTR) development at the Arena Central mixed-use scheme.
The proposals for the last two remaining plots at the scheme comprise two residential towers of 17 and 30 storeys.
The scheme will deliver up to 526 homes across a mix of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, alongside ground-floor commercial space and a new publicly accessible environment designed to improve pedestrian movement and encourage social interaction.
Alexandra Conway, managing director of residential private sector for Kier Property, said: “Arena Central represents one of Birmingham’s most significant and successful regeneration stories and this BTR scheme offers a rare opportunity to complete the masterplan with a forward-looking residential proposition. This scheme has been carefully designed as a best-in-class build-to-rent development, delivering homes within a professionally managed environment that prioritises resident experience, operational excellence and long-term sustainability. Its central location, adjacent to the canal network and at the heart of the city’s commercial and cultural core combined with a design-led approach and strong amenity offer, ensures the development will appeal to modern urban renters while providing the consistency and resilience sought by institutional investment. We believe this proposal not only complements Arena Central but also sets a benchmark for the next generation of city-centre living in Birmingham.”
