Sir Robert McAlpine has been appointed to build developer Nikal’s Exchange Square residential project in Birmingham city centre.
The scheme will provide 603 private rental flats in Birmingham city centre
The contractor will build three residential blocks of nine, 16 and 27-storeys, with the final block completed before the end of 2019.
Nikal gained outline consent to deliver 600,000 sq ft of commercial space, 150,000 sq ft of residential, and a 200-bed hotel over a year ago.
It later submitted an amended application lifting the limit of residential space permitted on the site from 150,000 sq ft to 700,000 sq ft, in response to a growing market demand for high quality accommodation within the city.
The scheme is the second phase of Nikal’s wider £600m mixed-use Masshouse development.
Nick Payne, managing director at developer Nikal which is behind the Masshouse project, said: “Exchange Square’s location, close to the city’s existing commercial, retail and transport hubs, will only be enhanced through the delivery of other widely anticipated large-scale development, including Curzon and the HS2 terminus.
“Bold development of this kind is needed to continue Birmingham’s ongoing regeneration and success.”
