Paradise Birmingham, the £1.2bn transformation project at the heart of the city, has received its latest planning approval from Birmingham City Council.
In a unanimous decision from the planning committee, permission was granted for Three Chamberlain Square, a new 10-storey, 185,000sq ft commercial building, a key part of the second phase of the Paradise masterplan.
Grounded in sustainability and with a unique ‘inside-outside’ ethos to the workplace, Three Chamberlain Square will be one of the most sustainable commercial buildings located in the city centre. It will be a first for Birmingham in terms of environmental standards, while offering a unique working setting for occupiers.
In addition to incorporating a low carbon approach to materials, waste and construction, the design of Three Chamberlain Square builds in a low carbon future for its occupiers. With lots of natural light and ventilation, the building reflects the demands of the modern workplace and will remain sustainable.
Chris Taylor, Chairman of MEPC and CEO of Federated Hermes Real Estate, said: “This is a significant next step in the Paradise story. Our ambition for Paradise is to deliver one of the UK’s leading business destinations by creating leading sustainable buildings set within the very best public realm, with first-class retail and leisure amenities for all those who work, live in or visit the city. We are committed to driving forward our investment in Paradise. Three Chamberlain Square will ensure that the momentum continues apace.”
