A historic return to Smithfield Poultry Market
05 Sept 2025Our transformation of Smithfield Poultry Market and the adjacent General Market into a new home for London Museum is featured in Construction News.
Three Chamberlain Square’s is one of the most
sustainable buildings we brought forward
in the Midlands and in Birmingham uh
it's
189,000 ft commercial office development
we've achieved a BREEM outstanding
rating at the design stage and a first
for Birmingham as well is a neighbours
five-star rating which is a measure of
Energy Efficiency in offices we've also
focused on embodied carbon so lots of
attention to detail in terms of reducing
that up front embodied carbon to a
really class leading level so we're
using terracotta on this building it's
the first time we've used terra cotta on
the paradise development and it's part
of the architect's original vision for
this building which they W in a design
competition back in 2020 terra cotta
also has a a long history of use in
Birmingham and particularly on this site
three Chamberlin Square will complete
the second phase of the paradise master
plan so bringing another much needed use
of grade A office space to the city and
also the public Realm around the
building so where we're standing now on
rackliff passage will be transformed
into a highquality streetcape connecting
to Chavin square and then we've got
other new squares associated with the
hotel as well uh towards the west side
of the
[Music]
site I three train million square is a
really good example of the tremendous
transformation that's taking place in
this city we've seen record levels of
investment coming into Birmingham and
that's about new jobs New Opportunities
uh for businesses uh here in Birmingham
so it's how we are changing this city
for the better so everyone can live work
and thrive in this great city of ours so
this building does complete the southern
part of the master plan adjac to the
town hall so with some fantastic quality
realm again fantastic different
materials to some of the other buildings
and will really help attract new Blue
Chip occupiers to the city um as part of
the wider Paradise destination with the
public realm and the squares that we've
got um and to sit alongside the
Fantastic occupiers that we've already

attracted
