property is a brand-new residential development in one of the region’s most exciting investment destinations.

an iconic office building and, upon completion it will offer some of the most marketable accommodation in the city.

Accordingly, the new apartments are aimed squarely at a thriving new generation of young, skilled and ambitious workers.

Urban regeneration is progressing at a breath-taking pace, and it’s bringing with it a host of new jobs and major commercial investors.

BIRMINGHAM: BRITAIN’S SECOND CITY

With a population of over a million, Birmingham is the second largest city in Britain. It’s also one of the most productive and economically successful; according to a 2019 report by The Financial Times, it is “growing faster than any other city region outside London, with output up by 35 per cent over the past five years.”

Visit Birmingham today and you’ll see a skyline dominated by cranes and new construction projects – a testament to its pervading sense of energy and economic optimism. Urban regeneration is progressing at a breath-taking pace, and it’s bringing with it a host of new jobs and major commercial investors. An estimated 300,000 new jobs have been created in the region over the last seven years alone. It’s no surprise, then, that Birmingham is now a much-favoured destination for graduate talent. Career and employment prospects are excellent, wages are rising more quickly than in any other part of Britain, and yet living costs are significantly lower than in the South East. The result has been a continuing inward migration of skilled young workers, all looking for somewhere to live.

A GROWING POPULATION

A GROWING ECONOMY

• Estimated population by 2028: 1,186,000

Birmingham is a key component of the West Midlands Combined Authority area, which is working closely with the Greater Birmingham Local Enterprise Partnership. Together, they have set ambitious targets for economic growth, including:

• Equivalent to 4,000-5,000 additional residents per year • Numbers expected to rise by 7.8% (1,230,000) by 2038 (Source: Birmingham City Council, Population Projections)

• Rising living standards • Massive inward investment • Poised to benefit from hosting the 2022 Commonwealth Games • Already benefiting from new HS2 infrastructure • £billions of new developments in progress

ESTIMATED BY 2028:

1,186,000

250,000 PRIVATE SECTOR JOBS BY 2030

• Creating 250,000 private sector jobs by 2030 • Raising GVA by £29 billion by 2030 Birmingham itself has a 20-year, £1.5 billion City Centre Masterplan, which seeks to: • Build 1.5 million square metres of new office space • Create over 50,000 new jobs • Add £2.1 billion to the economy each year For property investors, all this promises strong and sustainable demand for rental accommodation coupled with rising living standards and higher average disposable incomes. In a market characterised by comparatively modest house prices, that’s a recipe for some extremely rewarding yields.

MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS Birmingham is witnessing its most significant urban regeneration for over half a century. It is working to a 20-year city centre masterplan, valued at £1.5 billion, and this is prompting construction and job-creation on an unprecedented scale. In 2019, work started on more than 20 new, multimillion-pound commercial developments, and these followed a similar number the previous year. Some of the city’s most transformational projects include: • Paradise, a mixed-use, city centre development. Value: £700 million GDV • Grand Central shopping centre (above New Street Station). Value: £600 million • Arena Central, a mixed-use development. Value: £500 million GDV • Snow Hill Estate, an office development described as ‘the largest speculative city centre scheme in the UK outside of London’. Value: £500 million • New Garden Square, a mixed-use regeneration project. Value: £330 million • University of Birmingham’s Life Sciences Park. Value: £300 million

In 2019, work started on more than 20 new, multimillion-pound commercial developments, and these followed a similar number the previous year.

• Soho Wharf, a commercial and residential mixeduse development, announced in February 2020. Value: £165 million • Improvements to the Midland Metro network. Value: £130 million

• £137 million of investment in health sector businesses • £376 million allocated to transport and digital infrastructure • £550 million for new skills training

Birmingham Smithfield For investors, one of the most exciting new urban renewal projects will be the £1.5 billion Birmingham Smithfield scheme. Between 2022 and 2037, working across a 17-hectare site, developers will create a new public realm with accompanying housing, retail and leisure premises. It will fuel the revival of a key zone within the city and, over a period of at least 15 years, it should help to generate thousands of new jobs.

2022 Commonwealth Games In readiness for hosting the 2022 Commonwealth Games, Birmingham has begun a raft of new construction projects that will leave a lasting legacy in terms of jobs and local amenities. These include an athlete’s village capable of housing 6,800 people, and numerous new sporting venues.

Covid-19 Recovery Plan In June 2020, WMCA announced a £3.2 billion plan to support the region’s recovery from the coronavirus lockdown. It seeks to create and/or protect more than 135,000 jobs. Key components include: million of business investment in sustainable • £614 growth sectors, creating an estimated 51,7000 jobs

Birmingham’s Organising Committee notes that the Games in 2014 gave rise to “more than £650 million worth of tier one contracts” and that “for every £1 invested in the Games, a three-fold return is predicted.” Hosting the Games is estimated to give the city an immediate economic boost of £500 million, but there will inevitably be longer term impacts, especially with respect to tourism. Given that the city already welcomes over 41 million visitors annually, producing more than £7 billion of revenues, this can only spell good news for those with local properties to let.

HS2 The advent of High Speed Rail will make a considerable difference to Birmingham, which will be amongst the first British cities to benefit. In fact, those benefits are already materialising, in the shape of investment in new stations, infrastructure and jobs. For example, plans are now well advanced for the new, £1 billion Curzon Street Railway Station, which is due for completion in 2026. Once operational, it is expected to reduce journey times to London to just 49 minutes, and it will be capable of handling 26,000 passengers every hour. All told, the associated supply chain contracts within the region will have an estimated value of more than £10 billion.

Commonwealth Games into jobs for local people by accelerating major infrastructure investment.” Its target is 33,000 new jobs. For property investors, the implications are obvious: in the face of rising employment and a growing population, demand for good quality accommodation must inevitably increase. What’s more, a strengthening economy should support improvements in average disposable incomes, and historically, such improvements have tended to go hand-in-hand with rising capital values.

LOCAL URBAN IMPROVEMENTS It’s clear that Birmingham as a whole is seeing massive changes, and these should have positive, lasting effects on the city’s property market. However, conditions can vary greatly between individual districts, so it’s worth taking a moment to look at the immediate neighbourhood around and to consider what makes it particularly appealing. Firstly, West Bromwich is supported by the Black Country Local Economic partnership, which is committed to making substantial improvements to local transport, business and infrastructure. • A 10-year transport investment plan, valued at £1.6 billion • Employment growth target: an extra 96,890 jobs by 2033 • Support for over 2,000 start-up every year • GVA growth target: £36 billion per annum by 2030 These measures should, of course, help to transform the region’s fortunes. However, there’s plenty of

impressive work taking place at an even more local level. Close to the urban centre, there’s a buzz of activity that is all working in the property investor’s favour. Local Projects The property stands on the corner of High Street and Dartmouth Street, close to the centre of West Bromwich, and just 400 metres from the nearest Metro stop. This puts Birmingham’s Centenary Square just a few short minutes away by tram, making the property an ideal base for commuters. However, with West Bromwich currently enjoying a renaissance of its own, the property is also set to benefit from an impressive array of more localised regeneration projects. Examples (recent and planned) include: • Metro extension. Value: £449 million • Sandwell College, Central Campus. Value: £77 million • Smethwick Aquatic Centre, a new water sports venue for the 2022 Commonwealth Games. Value: £73 million

• Providence Place office development. Value: £18 million • University Technical College. Value: £10 million • YMCA Western Gateway. Value: £5.5 million • Victoria Court, a new retail and residential development announced in December 2019. Value: £4 million The reality is that West Bromwich has been regenerating steadily since 2013 and the opening of the £200 million New Square Shopping Complex. This created hundreds of new jobs and it began an economic trend that continues to this day.

EDUCATION SECTOR Birmingham is one of the UK’s largest university cities. It is home to five universities in all, which support a combined student body of approximately 80,000. Unsurprisingly, this sustains strong seasonal demand for student accommodation, but the universities also employ thousands of staff, who also lend weight to the local housing market. Through their own investments, business support and collaborative ventures, the universities also inject hundreds of millions of pounds into the West Midlands economy. For example, just next door to the property stands Health Futures University Technical College. The UTC opened in 2015 and is sponsored by the University of Wolverhampton. Developed at a cost of £10 million, it is supported by 22 health sector employers and teaches essential technical and practical skills for the health and life science sectors. Importantly, the education sector is also helping to maintain an excellent talent pool in the city. WMCA estimates that 71% of all graduates stay to work here.

ABOUT EMPIRE

IN SUMMARY

The company behind the transformation of Society House is Empire – a market leader in property development. It creates innovative living spaces through a combination of property conversions and new-build projects.

in an effort to support home ownership. This mix is intended to support the housing market as a whole.

WHY BIRMINGHAM?

Between 2012 and 2018, Empire completed 881 apartments and commercial units across 24 sites.

• One of Britain’s top-performing city economies

One of its principal specialisms entails developing modern, stylish residential apartments from vacant commercial buildings. Society House is an excellent example. The company has previously carried out similar projects in locations such as Wolverhampton, Bolton, Doncaster and Newcastle, many of them selling out months ahead of completion.

Today, it has a pipeline of 1,307 apartments and commercial units currently in planning, spread across a further 24 sites. In all, the company has a portfolio 3,562 units and, on all developments, it has maintained a zero failure-rate.

• Massive inward investment

It also builds from the ground up, using cutting edge design and construction techniques to create tasteful new living spaces. In all cases, it builds to the highest modern standards, creating attractive properties with a powerful appeal to discerning tenants and buyers. Empire’s overarching aim is to improve the quality and provision of UK housing stock and, in so doing, supporting the regeneration of towns and cities across the country. Some of its developments are retained and let to private tenants; others are sold

881 1,307

APARTMENTS

• Excellent potential for long-term capital growth • Rapid employment growth and inward migration

The property affords an opportunity to secure

attractive, highly marketable residential units in a fast-regenerating district close to the centre of Birmingham. • Exchange for just 25% - then pay nothing more until completion • Furniture packs available • A developer with an excellent track record

• A growing population • 100,000 new homes needed to meet demand by 2030 Globe Works, Bolton

• A huge shortfall in housing supply • Exceptionally strong rental demand

AND COMMERCIAL UNITS COMPLETED - 2012-2018

• Particularly strong demand for smaller-sized properties
