MIPIM 2019: Wolverhampton City Council, the West Midlands Combined Authority and developer Court Collaborations have announced plans for a £250m development in the city centre.
The Brewers Yard project will see 10 acres of brownfield land next to the University of Wolverhampton’s Springfield Campus transformed into a mixed-use scheme comprising 1,100 homes and 60,000 sq ft of retail and commercial space.
The development will include some of the tallest towers in the city, located a few hundred metres from the city’s new transport Interchange. It has been designed by Glancy Nicholls Architects.
The development is part of £4.3bn of investment in Wolverhampton. Construction is set to begin in 2020.
Anthony McCourt, chief executive and founder of Court Collaboration, said: “This is a real opportunity for the private and public sector to work together to bring forward and make viable a huge development opportunity.
“Brewers Yard oozes confidence and style throughout and it will be fantastic to bring this to the next stage of feasibility with the focused and unwavering support of City of Wolverhampton Council and the Combined Authority.”
Councillor John Reynolds, cabinet member for city economy, added: “The Brewers Yard development will deliver top-quality living at the heart of our city, with connectivity to state-of-the-art transport facilities.
“It will have easy access to a reinvented city centre, providing a great leisure and sporting offer, a vibrant public events programme, an outstanding arts and culture offer, and a thriving commercial district with well-paid jobs.”
