Property developers Regal (West Point) Ltd’s new Left Bank residential tower was designed by Glancy Nicholls Architects and will feature 189 high-quality apartments.

The development will also contain a ground-floor retail space and public area, and cover 128,144 sq ft.

It is scheduled for completion by summer 2018.

Phil Harrison, managing director of Wates Construction Midlands and North, said: “The scale of investment that Birmingham is currently experiencing is an indicator of ever-growing developer confidence and it demonstrates the city’s integral contributions to the strength of both the regional and national economies.

“Wates’ presence in Birmingham has seen us lead some incredible projects over the years and our appointment to the new Left Bank development once again brings to the fore our team’s market-leading expertise.”

This scheme follows Wates’ other Birmingham projects, including the development of Eastside City Park and the fit out of Gowling WLG’s new premises at Two Snowhill.

Wates was also recently appointed to develop Ardstone Capital’s office development on Newhall Street.
