_Four of the best new developments launching across the West Midlands
Cranes dotted across Birmingham reflect the city’s progress - two HS2 stations are being built in central Birmingham and nearby Solihull - but it is the chatter at cafes, the youth and diversity of the business community, the career opportunities and the vibrancy of the cultural scene that demonstrate the optimism felt in the region.
The sharp rise in relocation to the area coupled with the expectations of a new generation of homeowners has influenced the type of schemes being delivered across the city; design-led, wellness-focussed and in Birmingham's most exciting districts.
We look at some of the stand out new developments in Birmingham and the wider West Midlands region currently on the market through Knight Frank Birmingham.
