Stilts, Walsall


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


Urban Splash has unveiled designs for the anchor buildings that will be the centrepiece of its 17-acre mixed-use scheme in Walsall, West Midlands.



 


The buildings – designed by Will Alsop’s SMC Alsop – will form the focal point of the £60m first phase of Walsall Waterfront.



 


Stilts will be a 50,000 sq ft “box in the air” providing grade A office space 9m above ground, with new public space beneath it.



 


The two Oyster buildings, split by the Walsall town canal, will comprise 166 flats, with 30,000 sq ft of shops and restaurants on the ground floor.



 


Around 600 parking spaces are also planned, and a further site is available for either a hotel or 50,000 sq ft of offices.



 


GVA Grimley and DTZ are office letting agents; Birmingham-based Wright Silverwood is advising on the retail and leisure.
