Lancaster Wharf will have more than 250 apartments for rent in Birmingham

CGI of the Lancaster Wharf residential development in Princip Street, Birmingham

Construction work has started on a new 23-storey residential development in Birmingham's Gun Quarter.

Select Property is leading the scheme on canalside land under its Affinity Living brand which will see 266 one- and two-bedroom apartments to rent available from autumn 2025.

Called Lancaster Wharf and situated at the corner of Princip Street and New Town Row, it will also have a gym, rooftop garden and co-working space across a group of blocks.

The commencement of work follows months of demolition and stabilisation including extensive repair to the canal wall and reinforcements to protect neighbouring sites.

The site was previously used by West Midlands Police Authority as a storage depot.

Lancaster Wharf will become the fifth property in the Affinity Living portfolio, joining four others in Manchester. Select Property is a Cheshire-based developer, operator and investor.

It is a sister company to Vita Group which recently acquired the Axis Square next to Birmingham's Mailbox where it plans to build a residential-led, mixed-use complex.
