Corkfield is owned and was developed by German property investor Patrizia which also owns and manages The Forum apartment block in Pershore Street near Bullring.
It will be operated by London-based Native Residential which was selected after a competitive tender process.
Patrizia's asset manager Olivia Seaton said: "Edgbaston is Birmingham's most sought-after address, combining easy access to the city centre with a leafy setting.
"As well as the stadium right on our doorstep, the Midlands Arts Centre and Cannon Hill Park are across the road. Take-up of the apartments has been brisk.
"More than 800 people are expected to live at Corkfield and we look forward to building a vibrant new community here."
Rajiv Mehta, director of º£½ÇÊÓƵ operations with Native Residential, added: "We are delighted to be appointed by Patrizia on this landmark asset in Birmingham.
"We have now successfully recruited a stellar senior on-site team and we are greatly looking forward to welcoming the first residents to the scheme."
