Construction of the 34-storey residential tower is scheduled to begin in October, once demolition contractor PJ Careys completes clearance of the 1.3-acre Clyde Street/High Street site.
The plot is currently occupied by a former Safestore industrial facility and associated hard-standing car parking. Demolition works are set to commence next month, paving the way for the main build phase.
The development will deliver a total of 288 affordable homes, comprising 141 for social rent and 147 for shared ownership, alongside 193 properties for private sale. Plans also include 9,803 sq ft of commercial floorspace and new public realm improvements as part of the wider regeneration scheme.
Richard Cook, chief development officer at Clarion Housing Group, said: “With 60% of homes delivered as affordable, including a substantial proportion for social rent, this scheme reflects Latimer’s long-term commitment to inclusive growth and creating places that work for a broad range of people.
“We are looking forward to working closely with Winvic to deliver high-quality homes and a development that contributes positively to Digbeth’s continued regeneration.”
