Exciting developments by Nikal at Exchange Square, Birmingham, UK - Construction with Community
Exchange Square (Phase 1) is an exciting new urban village development from the guys at Nikal.
Take the post by Stephen, one of Birmingham's People with Passion and follower of Construction, for more on the development.
Designed by Stephenson Studio, and being built by Sir Robert McAlpine, this mixed-use scheme on Moor Street Queensway contains three new builds - one 9 storeys tall, one 16 storeys and the other of 27 storeys - comprising a total of 603 apartments, ranging from studios to one, two and three bedrooms.

There are rooftop gardens available for residents, plus a new public square will naturally form the heartbeat of the development, and will include 30,000 square foot of prime restaraunt, bar and cafe space fronting onto Moor Street Queensway.

Phase 2 will see yet more investment, in the form of two new projects. Firstly, a minimum 35-storey tower, also from Nikal. Grainger (the residential landlord) officially forward funded the project late last year.
Also confirmed is a 13-storey, 225-room Premier Inn Hotel, with a Bar + Block steakhouse restaurant, which will formally complete the Exchange Square development.
Birmingham is booming with a sustained period of investment and regeneration in the area showing no signs of stopping. With HS2 and other exciting developments on the horizon, Exchange Square is superbly placed in the thick of it, as this area of the City continues its burgeoning renaissance.
