Central Heart Vision

Central Heart Vision
Our proposals form part of the broader Birmingham Central Heart Vision, a once-in-a-generation opportunity to unlock underutilised retail and office space within the core of Birmingham City Centre. Through the redevelopment of eight prospectus sites it seeks to reposition the city’s commercial and residential offer at a pivotal moment in its growth.
Strategically located at the gateway to the city from London via the new HS2 Curzon Street Station, Central Heart will capitalise on unrivalled connectivity and visibility.
Bringing together the multiple development sites, the project will create a sustainable, high-density, mixed-use neighbourhood centred around new linear green corridors significantly widening the public realm that link the city’s retail core to the wider Greenway network. In doing so, it will replace outdated stock with a vibrant, inclusive, and future-focused urban destination.
• Up to 5,000 homes
• Up to 8,000 jobs
• Over 400,000sqm of commercial floorspace
• Over 7 hectares of new public space
Sphere Group has played a key role in shaping and promoting the messaging for Birmingham Central Heart, ensuring the vision, ambition and scale of opportunity are clearly articulated to investors, stakeholders and the wider market.
Rackhams Place will become its own Gateway to Central Heart, enhancing connections between HS2 and the main business district through exciting urban regeneration.
