Plans Submitted for 48-Story Tower in Birmingham, U.K.

2 Snowhill Plaza, developed by HUB Group and MARK and designed by Metropolitan Workshop

Hub Group and pan-European real estate investment manager MARK have submitted plans to develop a residential-led tower at 2 Snowhill Plaza in Birmingham, U.K., featuring hundreds of homes and a 48-story tower, Insider Media Ltd. reports. The scheme would provide 462 build-to-rent homes, as well as new public realm, ground-floor commercial space and on-site amenities. Designed by multidisciplinary architecture and urban design practice Metropolitan Workshop, the proposal for 2 Snowhill Plaza would replace a vacant commercial property. Metropolitan Workshop said it took its design inspiration from “Birmingham’s bold post-war architectural heritage.” The building would create a pedestrian connection between Snow Hill railway station and Weaman Street, and the design distributes internal and external amenity spaces across four levels.
