Apsley and Galliard to build Timber Yard in Birmingham 

Apsley House Capital and Galliard Homes have received consent for 379 homes at the Timber Yard development in Birmingham’s Southside.  The scheme on the site of a former 1.6-acre car park on Pershore Street was designed by Claridge Architects and includes 10,000 sq ft of ground-floor commercial space.  Construction is expected to start this year with completion scheduled for 2021. Galliard and Apsley have a committed pipeline of more than 2,000 homes in Birmingham valued at around £500m.  Robin Norstrom, director at Apsley House Capital, said: “Birmingham is a city with a growing reputation on both the national and international stage.  “Public and private sector investment in commercial and residential development and major infrastructure projects, such as HS2 and the Metro extension, have created an environment that is attractive to investors, businesses and residents alike.”  [gallery type="slideshow" ids="940190,940191,940192,940193,940194,940195"] To send feedback, e-mail alex.peace@egi.co.uk or tweet @egalexpeace or @estatesgazette
