Stephen Conway, executive chairman at Galliard Homes, said: “Our vision for Soho Wharf is to deliver a residential-led, mixed-use scheme that will be truly transformative for Birmingham.

“We are pleased the council shares our vision for the site.”

Robin Norstrom, director at Apsley House Capital, added: “Strategically located between Edgbaston and Jewellery Quarter, Soho Wharf will be the start of a new chapter, bringing the site back to life and enhancing the local area with a design-led urban scheme that provides a mix of homes, commercial space, amenities and public realm.”
