21-Storey Collection Of Homes In Birmingham Launched
St Joseph has today launched its 21-storey development The Regent, featuring 108 of the 420 homes coming to Snow Hill Wharf in Birmingham’s Gun Quarter.
The developer, part of multi-award-winning Berkeley Group, will be leading the launch digitally, due to the coronavirus. It has rolled out a virtual system that enables potential buyers to tour the neighbourhood. The interactive technology allows users to experience the apartments, gardens and communal areas in 360 degrees, alongside the different views from all 420 homes.
The building stands at 182 metres above sea level and will feature two duplex penthouses, to be released later in 2020. These are considered to be among the most luxurious ever sold in Birmingham’s city centre.
Alongside The Regent, St Joseph has also brought forward the 84 remaining homes at Snow Hill Wharf to market. This follows strong buyer demand with over half of apartments at the canalside neighbourhood purchased ahead of first completions in Q1 2021.
Snow Hill Wharf features a cinema room, residents’ lounge, 24-hour concierge, sauna, steam room and gymnasium. Over 40% of the 1.87-acre neighbourhood is outdoor space; St Joseph is creating three podium gardens overlooking the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal.
In its Birmingham Report released in March, property consultancy Knight Frank highlighted the demand for homes in the city. It forecasts that residential property prices in Birmingham, and the wider West Midlands, will rise by 13% over the next five years and predicts rental prices to increase by 10% in the same period.
Ashley Kensington, managing director at St Joseph, said: “St Joseph believes in the long-term resilience and growth of Birmingham, including its property market. This was one of the main reasons why we committed to regenerating parts of the city, creating new homes for communities to thrive.
“Snow Hill Wharf has been met by high-demand, with buyers recognising Berkeley Group’s quality and sharing our vision for Birmingham. The future for the city is bright. Major infrastructure projects are underway and global businesses are relocating their offices here, such as BT and HSBC, which is encouraging more professionals and those living internationally to come to Birmingham.
“This market launch sees St Joseph finally reveal The Regent. As the jewel in Snow Hill Wharf’s crown, it features a mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments, offering panoramic views of Birmingham’s evolving skyline.”
