Residential tower scheme for Birmingham, U.K.; rendering by Chapman Taylor via Building Design

Chapman Taylor’s plans for a 31-story residential tower scheme in Birmingham, U.K., have been given the go ahead by the local council, Building Design reports. Queen Hospital Close will contain 759 student beds in the tower and 189 build-to-rent apartments in two separate seven and 10-story blocks. The scheme also includes the restoration of two grade II-listed former hospital buildings, one built in 1841 and the other in 1873. The older block, which is currently used for student accommodation, will retain this use while the 1870s block will house amenity space including a gym and a ground-floor commercial unit. The plans also include a network of tree-lined avenues and landscaped public realm areas with a terraced woodland garden for students. Turley is planning and heritage consultant on the scheme, with Stace as project manager, Conisbee as structural engineer and Chord Consult for mechanical, electrical and plumbing.
