Developer Taylor Grange has submitted plans to clear an old factory site in Birmingham’s Digbeth area for a 500-home build to rent scheme.

The luxury flat scheme designed by architect Corstorphine + Wright will see parts of the S+K Building complex, made up of factory warehouses dating back to the 1850s, cleared to make way for a complex of several linked new buildings ranging from six to nine storeys.

Existing Victorian facades will be retained with a new public walkway created along the River Rea.

The scheme is expected to have a development value of over £125m.

The site fronts onto Bradford Street and Birchall Street and is located near developer SevenCapital’s 770-flat Connaught Square scheme in Digbeth.
