“Our team and I have been working behind the scenes with Spitfire for some time and Newhall Square typifies why the PRS market is emergent. Young professionals aged 25 to 34 make up the majority of PRS tenants. These two new build plots are in a great location, only a short walk from the central business district and as a number of new mixed-use developments, which will be bringing 12,000 new jobs to Birmingham.”
Ross Evans, Special Projects Director at Spitfire Bespoke Homes, said: “We have been collaborating with Winvic for some time on the Newhall Square development and we have the utmost confidence that Winvic, together with our team, will deliver something special. Winvic have been accommodating throughout the design phase, exhibiting their experience and their team’s commitment to a project of this size in this sector is clear.”
“The Build to Rent sector is emerging, and the high quality of this project, situated in one of the most desirable areas of the city, provides a variety of choice and flexibility for people to achieve the lifestyle of their choice. Newhall Square has something to offer to everyone who desires the flexibility that high quality urban living can provide.
The two Newhall Square plots that are located between the Jewellery Quarter and Central Business District incorporate Grade II-listed buildings. Plot 1 located on Charlotte Street, will consist of 79 apartments over six storeys and an under-croft car park for 61 cars.
