Loft Apartment Collection Launches In Gun Quarter

A collection of nine loft-style apartments have hit the market in Birmingham’s Gun Quarter following strong buyer demand for homes in the city’s latest property hotspot.

The two-storey residences form part of St Joseph’s 420-home Snow Hill Wharf neighbourhood – its first project in the city since the Berkeley Group division arrived in 2017.

The duplex apartments represent the highest specification homes from St Joseph to date. The apartments feature oak and glass staircases connecting the two storeys, pendant lighting, vaulted ceilings, as well as floor-to-ceiling windows offering views over Birmingham’s skyline.

The duplex apartments are located within one of Snow Hill Wharf’s five canalside buildings, The Lancaster. The collection features two- and three-bedroom homes, ranging from £478,400 to £795,000.

The decision to launch the duplexes follows over 65% of apartments at Snow Hill Wharf being purchased, with the first residents due to move in later this year.

Speaking on the launch, Charlie Joseph, director at St Joseph, said: “St Joseph is raising the bar for residential development in Birmingham. This latest collection of duplex apartments at Snow Hill Wharf shows off the best of Berkeley Group design and amenities – created to be spacious and light, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering stunning vistas of Birmingham.

“This level of quality and unique loft-style design is new to the Gun Quarter and one which will set the standard for luxury city living for years to come.”

Snow Hill Wharf stands on the site of a 1.87-acre former goods yard within Birmingham’s Gun Quarter. The area was recently highlighted in Birmingham City Council’s Future City Plan, forming part of its sustainability-focused vision for ‘St Chads Greenway’.

Joseph added: “Despite the pandemic, St Joseph has experienced sustained demand for quality city-centre homes. The high levels of investment into Birmingham is helping drive this, alongside the evolution of the Gun Quarter – a historic area, previously overshadowed by its proximity to the Jewellery Quarter, but now emerging as one of the city’s leading property hotspots.

“Snow Hill Wharf is spearheading the Gun Quarter’s regeneration and growing reputation as a place for people to live, grow and thrive in the centre of Birmingham.”

Snow Hill Wharf is set to house more than 700 residents across a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, duplexes and penthouses. It also features a cinema room, residents’ lounge, 24-hour concierge service, sauna, steam room and gym, as well as three podium gardens overlooking the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal.
