UK Economic Structures
Now experiencing a strong rebound back to pre-pandemic levels, the UK's economy is predicted to expand by a rate of 84% up to 2035. This is the fastest growth rate expected for any major European economy. As a result, the UK will remain the second-largest economy in Europe, totalling EUR4.38 trillion as of 2035. This is primarily due to favourable demographics, as the UK’s strong population growth is expected to sustain a working age population of just under 43 million people over the next 15 years and beyond.

UK Income Growth
The UK has maintained one of the lowest and most consistent unemployment rates of all major European economies over the last decade.
The UK’s economy expanded by 32% in the last 20 years and household income levels have risen in a similar fashion. The number of households in the UK’s lower-income band is expected to continue to shrink to 1.8 million by 2035, a fall of 84% since 2000. Between 2000 and 2020, the UK’s middle-income band increased by 49% to over 16 million households, and is forecast to decrease to 14 million (-13%) by 2035. This decline is primarily due to a positive shift from the middle- to the top-income band over the next 15 years.
The UK’s Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (Furlough), which has successfully protected millions of jobs, is due to come to an end in September 2021. 2.4 million people remained on the scheme as of May 31st 2021, a figure which has over halved from the peak of 5.1 million in January this year. As of May 31st, the number enrolled had more than halved to 2.4 million and will continue to taper off as businesses reopen and people return to full-time work.

Incredibly, the UK’s top-income band is expected to reach 13.7 million households by 2035, an increase of 648% since 2000. As a result, the number of high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals in the UK is expected to increase by 76% and 39% respectively within the next five years, far exceeding the growth rates in other major global economies such as Germany and the U.S.

UK Housing Market With more than 6.2 million newcomers migrating to the UK between 2000 and 2019, the construction sector has struggled to keep up with the increased demand for housing. Only 716,610 housing units were completed between 2015 and 2019, far below the Government’s target of 1.1 million. The housing deficit over this five-year period alone is an estimated 383,400 units.

Birmingham's establishment dates as far back as the 12th century.
Birmingham is distinctive in terms of its cultural location in the UK, hosting an array of music venues, theatres, galleries, and museums. The city is quickly becoming known for its vibrancy, with the Arts, Entertainment & Recreation industry expecting to increase its GVA and number of new jobs by 55% and 21% respectively in the next fifteen years.
It's industrious heritage, and strategic geographic location approximately 100 miles from London, allowed its merchants to trade items such as jewellery, tools, household goods and armaments around the world. In 1889 it was hailed as the 'City of a Thousand Trades', giving rise to the city’s rich culture and educational foundation with the establishment of Birmingham University in 1900.
Theatres such as the Hippodrome, which is home to the Birmingham Royal Ballet and the world’s largest Pantomime, welcomes approximately 500,000 visitors a year. While the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery housing over 40 galleries includes Europe’s largest collection of Pre-Raphaelite art and draws in 650,000 visitors per annum. In terms of cultural events, the Birmingham International Jazz and Blues Festival, attracting artists and bands from across the globe, is the UK's largest jazz festival, while the city's St. Patrick's Day Parade is the world's third largest.
Today, Birmingham has expanded beyond its primarily industrial roots into a diverse and innovative economic base. In fact, Forbes ranked Birmingham 2nd in the UK for new business start-ups in 2020.
Sport has always been an important feature of Birmingham, and the city has invested a considerable amount of resources into its sporting infrastructure. The city has established a long sporting heritage, hosting more national, European, and world sporting championships than any other UK city. It was also the first city to be named a ‘National City of Sport’ by the UK Sports Council. In 2017, Birmingham was awarded the rights to host the 2022 Commonwealth Games – the world’s third-largest sporting event. The games, now commonly known as ‘Birmingham 2022’ will bring 6,600 competitors from 71 countries and territories, along with a vast amount of tourism and business to the city. Hosting the games will create approximately 35,000 new jobs, providing a further boost to its already thriving economy. Birmingham secured a £778 million investment for hosting the games, and will generate additional revenue through ticket sales, sponsorship, merchandising and the sale of broadcast rights. The city will welcome over 1 million spectators from around the globe over the course of the 11-day event. Birmingham also boats a rich footballing culture, with the city’s three major teams being Aston Villa, Birmingham City, and West Bromwich Albion. The city also hosts international cricket games, Davis Cup tennis, athletics, badminton, table tennis, judo, basketball, and wrestling. Many of which take place in the Barclaycard Arena, the UK's premier indoor sporting arena where a number of new world records have been set in the field of athletics.
Birmingham received city status in January 1889, and soon developed into one of Britain's most significant industrial hubs. The 1950s saw the population peak at 1.1 million, and by 1971 manufacturing accounted for 47% of all jobs in the city. However, a large proportion of traditional manufacturing jobs migrated to low cost emerging economies in the 1980s, heralding in a period of economic decline and significant depopulation.

Demographics
This trend persisted until the early 2000s, when a combination of natural population growth and inward migration saw the number of residents in the city skyrocket. Birmingham’s working population has increased by 20% in the last twenty years, compared to the West Midlands area at 10% and the UK national average at 11%. It is the second most populous city in the UK, registering 1.15 million residents as of 2020, and is forecast to reach more than 1.23 million (+7%) inhabitants by 2035.

The city's industrial development was primarily attributed to the adaptability and creativity of its highly skilled labour force. As a result, the city was dubbed "the first manufacturing town in the world" in 1791. Birmingham quickly became a hub of innovation, with many industry-firsts such as the Boulton and Watt steam engine for industry, the mass production of affordable pen nibs, and a letter-copying machine that is considered to be the world's first widely used photocopier.

Birmingham has transformed from a city heavily reliant on manufacturing to one with a diverse, innovative, and robust economic base. While the city retains a significant foundation in advanced manufacturing, the finance, professional services, technology firms and start-up ecosystem all now contribute substantially to the city’s economy.
As Birmingham’s economy continued to grow, the unemployment rate fell from a peak of 16.6% in 2013 to 7.7% as (2019). The rate is expected to rise to a peak of 10.8% in 2021 after the furlough scheme ends in September, before returning to its pre-crisis full-employment level in the following years. Birmingham's favourable economic climate has resulted in disposable household incomes rising from GBP25,480 in 2000 to GBP42,580 in 2020, an increase of 67% over the period. While disposable incomes dropped slightly in 2020, they are expected to rebound swiftly and reach GBP63,780 by 2035, a remarkable increase of 150% since 2000.

In 2018, HSBC opened its Birmingham HQ due to the city’s reputation as the UK's Second City. The 11-storey building in Centenary Square was the first building in Birmingham to be constructed to LEED Gold accreditation. The Birmingham HQ was part of HSBC’s GBP200 million investment within the West Midlands, and today employs approximately 2,500 people from the bank’s retail and commercial divisions, support, and back-office staff. Overall, HSBC employs a total of 3,500 people across its numerous locations within the Birmingham area.
In 2020, PwC opened its largest UK regional office in Birmingham. The 172,000 sq ft office space stretches across seven floors and houses approximately 2,200 employees, with plans to increase by a further 1,000 employees by the end of 2021. This move to Birmingham was part of PwC’s plan to invest GBP140 million in people, quality, training, technology and upskilling across the UK between 2019 and 2020. In June 2021, PwC announced that the UK arm intends to invest a further USD1.2 billion over the next three to four years in areas such as environmental, social, governance and technology, with an emphasis on job creation.
In April 2021, the telecom giant BT moved into Birmingham’s Three Snowhill business quarter.

Transportation
METRO
Birmingham’s central position in the UK's transit infrastructure provides excellent mobility and connectivity with other nearby towns and cities. Individuals and freight can easily travel from Birmingham to other UK cities and beyond thanks to various connections via air, rail, and road networks. RAIL Birmingham Station is well connected with direct lines to cities such as London, Manchester, and Liverpool. Between 2019 and 2020 Birmingham New Street Station recorded 46.5 million passengers. It is the most strategically-located city in the UK, with 90% of the population reachable in under 4 hours. Soon the travel times via rail will be even further shortened as the HS2 integrates with the city's current transportation system.
In operation since 1990, the 25-kilometre West Midlands Metro runs between the cities of Birmingham and Wolverhampton. The metro system encompasses 28 stops and is undergoing major extensions at a total investment cost of GBP1 billion. The full-extension will open the line to include over 80 stops serving more than 20 transport interchanges linking Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Dudley, Brierley Hill, Digbeth, North Solihull, Birmingham Airport, the National Exhibition Centre and the HS2. The project is expected to increase the metro’s passengers from 8 million to 30 million by 2030. Piper’s Row

Housing Market
Birmingham’s City Council expects that 2,572 housing units will be completed per year between 2020 and 2031, below the average annual housing requirement of 3,000 units. Taking the previous backlog into account, an undersupply of at least 29,365 housing units is expected by 2031.
Birmingham Housing Supply & Demand 2011 - 2031
Birmingham's population began to decline in the 1980s as a result of the poor economic environment, a trend which was reversed by the early 2000s thanks to well executed economic strategies. The city's population has increased from 985,630 in 2000 to 1,145,650 in 2020, with an average increase of 8,000 new residents per annum. The population is expected to reach 1,225,450 by 2035, an increase of 24% from 2000. This increase in population has provided a significant boost for the economy, while putting sustained pressure on the already strained housing stock.

Since 2011 a mere 22,806 units were added to the housing stock, which totalled 445,276 units as of 2020. As a result, there is a substantial undersupply of homes in Birmingham, with just 48% of the city's housing needs fulfilled over the past 9 years.

A consistently undersupplied housing market combined with an economy that has almost doubled in size has led to Birmingham's house prices increasing by 42% over the past 10 years. Furthermore, the city is anticipated to see a substantial 19.5% house price growth in the next 4 years to 2025. Currently, however, average house prices in the city are 34% below the national average with almost half the affordability ratio of London.

The manufacturing industry is still thriving today with the Quarter producing 40% of all the jewellery made in the UK.

THE DEVELOPMENT
Own A Piece of History The grand heritage building of The Silversmiths dates back to 1865, during the reign of Queen Victoria. Today, developer NVSM, who specialise in bringing new life to buildings with a great story, will delicately restore it to its former glory in the heart of the Jewellery Quarter.
Originally constructed as a toolmaker works for Henry Jenkins and Sons, the grade II listed building was extended in 1898 seeing silverware makers occupy the premises.
The Silversmiths’ Story
By 1914 with the rise of WWI, the building was adapted into an arsenal, producing over 1 million rifles to aid the British troops during the war years. Throughout its lifetime of manufacturing, the building has seen six monarchs and the start and end of the industrial revolution which made Birmingham a global powerhouse in the industry. By 1992, the Jenkins family ended their long tenure at Vittoria & Unity Works, allowing for the opportunity to let its rich history speak character into new residential loft-style homes. The iconic industrial framework coupled with open-plan interiors creates the epitome of stylish urban living. Choose from 26 luxury one- and twobedroom apartments set over 3 floors overlooking the courtyard below.
