WHY BIRMINGHAM?
As one of the UK’s fastest growing populations and economies, as well as the biggest business hub outside of London, Birmingham has an affordable property market that promises exceptionally strong yields.

The city’s total GVA stood at £29 billion in 2018, rose by 7.5% in 2021, and is set to climb a further 4.5% by 2022. Billions of pounds are also being invested into Birmingham’s infrastructure to enhance what is already the country’s largest financial and commercial center. The Big City Plan will see the City Council continue to invest in the creation of a world-class destination until 2030. Birmingham is also considered a cultural epicenter and one of the UK’s top shopping and dining destinations. This impressive visitor economy is set to keep on growing with the forthcoming arrival of HS2*.

Birmingham is second only to London when it comes to economic growth, education opportunities and national transport connections.
From rich industrial roots have grown high speed rail links – including HS2 – globally recognized universities, a top UK shopping destination, huge investment in arts and culture, and a host of location for the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
Birmingham’s evolution is supported by the youngest population of all European cities. With a majority percentage of the city’s residents below the age of 25, and high retention rates across 25,0000 annual university graduates, both the workforce and the GVA continue to grow alongside commercial and residential spaces. This is reflected in the Birmingham Development Plan 2031, which outlines a strategy for sustainable growth and regenerate over the next decade

Spotlight on “The JQ”
Renowned for Europe’s largest cluster of businesses in the jewellery trade, Birmingham’s historic Jewellery Quarter (JQ) once employed over 30,000 people. It’s also been described
as a ‘national treasure’ and ‘a place of unique character’ by the English Heritage.

Whilst the connection to the quarter’s past is still alive and prospering with hundreds of designer brands and unique handmade goods, the present has ushered in a wave of artisans, designers, digital and media agencies – and with it a vibrant generation of young professionals now calling it home. When the weekend comes around, groups from all over the city take advantage of a wealth of great pubs, restaurants and green spaces within this quarter on the outskirts of the city centre.

The district’s proximity to the city centre’s major offices (a 15-minute walk), coupled with the M6 motorway just a 15-minute drive away, make the Jewellery Quarter a commuter’s dream, both in and out of the city. Against the backdrop of jewellers that trade here and historic monuments like the Chamberlain Clock, The Jewellery Quarter has gained a contrasting reputation as the home to a much younger demographic.

The majority of residents are aged 21-30 here, most of whom will not yet be homeowners but instead longserving members of ‘generation rent’. With little sign of this changing soon, the investment case remains as credibly strong as ever, with an average price growth of 28% reported over the last three years.

ST PAUL’S QUARTER - REDEVELOPMENT SCHEME
The latest joint venture in the Galliard Apsley Partnership Scheme, St Paul’s Quarter will provide 305 residential units (across one, two and three bedroom apartments) alongside 100,000 sq. ft. of commercial and business space, providing residents with an excellent choice of shops, restaurants and bars.

The four acre development will integrate the Jewellery Quarter to Northwood Street with a new pedestrian walkway connecting the two together, known as Harpers Hill, making it quicker for residents to access Birmingham’s Central Business District (CBD).
