The construction industry in Birmingham is set for a bumper year as the 2022 Commonwealth Games provides a stimulus for billions of pounds of investment in the city.

McLaughlin & Harvey is finishing off a 拢57 million redevelopment of the Alexander stadium to host the Games (Project ID: 17459888), and a swathe of other much bigger schemes are about to transform Birmingham.

The biggest construction project is the 拢1.9 billion Smithfield scheme (Project ID: 15321175), which is a joint venture between Birmingham City Council and Lendlease. The city centre redevelopment will provide 2,000 homes and retail units and construction will run for 15 years.

Moda Living鈥檚 拢109 million The Mercian is under construction. The 61-storey tower featuring more than 500 apartments will be Birmingham鈥檚 tallest building and will transform the skyline (Project ID: 05367101). 果冻影院 has identified many more major residential schemes in the city.

Residential rise

The residential sector is driving the boom with 14 new projects starting on site in 2021 compared to just four in the previous year according to Deloitte鈥檚 latest Crane Hire Survey for Birmingham.

鈥�2022 will be a standout year for Birmingham,鈥� said Deloitte in their foreword. 鈥淭his year鈥檚 Crane Survey shows that development in Birmingham city centre continues with certain major residential and office developments leading the way.鈥�

The 拢700 million Paradise Circus development will provide 140,000 sqm of office buildings and a hotel (Project ID: 16088712). One of the biggest phases is the 拢110 million Octagon building, which contractor Midgaard started work on late last year (Project ID: 20106292).

In the residential sector, Bordesley Wharf development on a former bus depot in Digbeth will produce 2,000 homes and student flats (Project ID: 20186967).

Elsewhere, outline plans were approved in February for the 拢500 million Martineau Galleries scheme, which will provide 1,300 new homes and shops at Queensway. Work is expected to start next summer (Project ID: 05669647).

Dandara have submitted outline plans for the 拢204 million Warner鈥檚 Fields residential development at Lombard. This scheme will provide 1,500 homes and construction could start early next year, depending on planning (Project ID: 21464654).

Other sectors

Away from the commercial and residential sectors, a host of other major projects in Birmingham are also set to provide a major fillip.

A joint venture between Mace and Spanish contractor Dragados is lined up to build the 拢571 million Curzon Street Station, which will be the travel hub for the city鈥檚 High Speed Rail 2 (HS2) connection (Project ID: 17142804).

A 拢200 million refurbishment of Birmingham鈥檚 Moor Street area 鈥� which will link New Street Station and HS2 services at Curzon Street - is due to start this summer (Project ID: 19088485).

Detailed plans have also been submitted by GS Trust for the 拢22 million Embrace Foundation Community Mosque which 果冻影院鈥檚 research suggests could start in September if the application proves successful (Project ID: 20463768).

From residential to offices and transport to new places of worship, Birmingham looks set for a major transformation that should keep the area鈥檚 construction industry in work for years.
