A joint venture team first formed last year is to develop a new 35-storey apartment complex in Birmingham city centre.
Investment management firm Harrison Street and US real estate investment, development and management company Cortland have together acquired a site in Broad Street where more than 400 units to rent will be built.
The land at the corner with Ryland Street previously contained office buildings which have now been demolished.
The proposals were initially brought forward by Birmingham-based Taylor Grange Developments and received planning consent in October last year.
Originally called ‘The Square’, it has now been rebranded Cortland Broad St. and is set to comprise two buildings of 35 and six storeys respectively containing 440 one- and two-bedroom apartments.

The consented scheme also contains plans for an eight-storey, 229-bedroom hotel fronting onto Grosvenor Street West at the rear of the site but this has not been included in the sale.

"Despite the city’s major companies and start-ups, deep talent pool and leading universities, Birmingham does not have the high-quality rental accommodation the growing population of young professionals demand.
