Birmingham's future takes centre stage as Smithfield wins Future Ambition Award

  • 12 Nov 2024

Smithfield Birmingham has picked up the Future Ambition Award at the Insider Media West Midlands Property Awards. It’s a prestigious award and one that underscores the project's potential to reshape the heart of Birmingham.

At 17 hectares, Smithfield Birmingham offers an exceptional opportunity to define and celebrate the next chapter of the transformation of the city centre. It’s a project that will strengthen its reputation as an international city and reflect the aspirations of the local community.

The development will include:

  • A destination market experience to rival the best that Europe offers, establishing Smithfield as a prestigious globally recognised market district.
  • An outstanding, mixed use, cultural and entertainment destination, set within an intensive public canvas of squares, boulevards and lanes with fountains and active play for children. With live performances, world-class art and culture, family adventure and learning, festivals and pop-ups and night time excitement, Smithfield will be a much-loved destination for all.
  • A new workplace offer for the city that has all the benefits of a mixed-use quarter with different typologies to accommodate the changing needs of companies and attracting new occupiers to the city.
  • High-quality city living with over 3,000 new homes in a healthy, sustainable, and safe place and a new green park for Birmingham.

 

It’s a project that prioritises sustainability and incorporates green spaces, energy-efficient buildings, and sustainable infrastructure.

With the upcoming HS2 Birmingham Curzon Street Station nearby, Smithfield Birmingham is in the perfect location to attract businesses and visitors from around the world. By combining historical preservation with innovative design, this bold project will create a vibrant, sustainable, and inclusive community that will benefit generations to come.
