Paradise View, Birmingham
We are proud to be working in partnership with Topland Group (www.topland.co.uk) to acquire Beneficial Building in the centre of Birmingham, which will be developed into a best-in-class Build to Rent property. The building, which has been derelict for 13 years, has been renamed Paradise View (www.paradiseview.co.uk) and given a new lease of life as a much-needed rental accommodation in a prime location in the city centre.
Verv-Life (www.verv-life.com) have been appointed as property managers.
Completed in February 2024, Paradise View now provides 159 apartments together with 4,000 sq. ft. of ancillary amenity space together with a roof terrace. A 4,000 sq. ft. retail unit has been pre let and the basement provides a 4,500 sq. ft. gym pre let to Anytime Fitness.
