A destination made for people - a project exceeding expectations.

A new destination in the Jewellery Quarter needed a placemaking and construction approach embodying empathy and creativity. Our embedded relationship with the main contractor, Sir Robert McAlpine, meant we could quickly test new ideas and designs to ensure deliverability and shape our overall design approach accordingly.

By reinterpreting an industrial space for living and working without compromising authenticity or quality, The Goodsyard is becoming a sought-after city neighbourhood, exceeding its commercial and operational targets.

The first residents took occupancy in August 2023, creating certainty and earlier-than-expected rental income for Legal and General. Through early planning and consistent communication with our operational partner (Urban Bubble), we managed the resident experience, going the extra mile to ensure ongoing works did not compromise living standards and additional phases could launch early.

Overall, the scheme was completed early, delivering income earlier than targeted whilst contributing significantly to Birmingham's rising demand for quality homes.
