New Phase Coming To Major Birmingham Development

Housebuilder House by Urban Splash has released a series of images showing what the completed properties will look like in the upcoming third phase of homes at WhatHouse? award-winning Port Loop in Birmingham.

The new phase will bring an entirely new house type to Birmingham; known as ‘Row House’, the homes are precision engineered in the House by Urban Splash factory and will be first arriving on site in late March/early April where they will be craned into place.

A modern take on a traditional terraced home, ‘Row House’ features a striking grey profiled metal façade and the housebuilder’s signature ‘oversized’ windows. Inside, for a limited time only, customers are able to customise the ground floor layout to suit their individual needs, choosing between open-plan living and a brand new layout with a functional lobby area.

Evangelina Hogan, sales manager for House by Urban Splash, said: “This is a new house type for Port Loop and, with prices starting from £310,000, it represents a more affordable way for people to join our popular island neighbourhood.”

As an added benefit, particularly for first-time buyers searching for a new home, House by Urban Splash, has this week launched its own 5% deposit scheme at Port Loop. Under the initiative, the 10% deposit needed to exchange contracts and secure a new home at Port Loop is split into two payments. Purchasers pay the first 5% on exchange, with the final 5% paid six months after the customer’s reservation date.

Evangelina Hogan continued: “Since launching the first homes for sale in our third phase in late 2021, we are now 90% sold of the ‘Town House’ and have released 15 four-bedroom, three-storey ‘Row Houses’ and 16 two-bedroom, two-storey ‘Row Houses’. We’re excited to see the first ‘Row Houses’ arrive at Port Loop in just a few weeks’ time and give buyers more choice of homes available. In the meantime, these new CGIs give our customers and potential new homeowners a glimpse of what life in our ‘Row Houses’ will be like.”

A unique feature of the new homes at Port Loop is the large, central communal gardens which all properties have access to, as well as Port Loop’s existing one-acre public park. In addition to this landscaped shared space, homeowners have a private garden terrace and allocated parking, plus easy access to the canal which surrounds the new neighbourhood.

Located 15 minutes along the canal from Brindleyplace, Port Loop will deliver 1,150 new homes when complete, as well as a variety of community and workspaces. The Floating Front Room, an outdoor coffee shop and Yard, Birmingham’s first Art House that hosts regular exhibitions and events, have already opened and are incredibly popular amongst the local community, as are the regular outdoor events.

Port Loop is being delivered by a joint venture between Urban Splash and Places for People, in partnership with Birmingham City Council and Canal & River Trust. Phase 3 will be delivered by House by Urban Splash. Find out more at port-loop.com and www.housebyurbansplash.co.uk.
