Opened in 1971, Clarendon Suites was designed by the legendary Birmingham architect John Madin and was operated by the Warwickshire Masonic Brethren until its closure in 2014.
It staged conferences, exhibitions and banquets and was used as the Provincial Grand Lodge of Warwickshire Masons.
and the site was demolished and cleared three years later.
Edgbaston-based Wavensmere Homes was chosen as the preferred developer following recent marketing of the land by property agency JLL.
Managing director James Dickens said: "We are thrilled to be selected to reanimate this landmark site which holds so many memories for those who grew up and socialised in Edgbaston.
"We are consulting with stakeholders and welcome comments and feedback from local people to ensure this prime site is redeveloped in the most sustainable way."
William Cox, lead director for residential at JLL in Birmingham, added: "Surrounded by the grand period residences of Edgbaston, yet only a mile from Birmingham city centre, there are few vacant sites that have the scope and potential of Clarendon Suites.
"This is a highly established residential location that appeals to all ages. We are looking forward to seeing their vision for this site come to life."
Birmingham-based Glancy Nicholls Architects and planning consultancy RPS Tetra Tech have been appointed to design the project.
The plans can be viewed and comments left or via email on feedback@B16clarendon.co.uk.
