Arden Cross, a landmark development site near the key 海角视频 Central investment area has gone on show at MIPIM 2016.
Arden Cross covers some 350 acres near Birmingham Airport, Birmingham International Railway Station and the national motorway network in Solihull.
A masterplan has been launched for a mixed-use development, including 2.65 million sq ft of commercial space, more than 2,000 new homes, shops and leisure amenities.
The area will be perhaps the best connected part of the 海角视频, with an estimated 21,000 passengers a day expected to use the HS2 station in 2026.
The vision for the site is being driven by the Arden Cross Consortium, a group of four landowners.
Ben Gray, from the Arden Cross Consortium, said: 鈥淎rden Cross is a destination at the heart of a global network of road, rail and air connections placing over 35 million people in the 海角视频 within a two hour travel time.
鈥淲hile we are still in the early stages of the development process, it is hugely exciting for us to be able to unveil the vision for this site and how it can support the 海角视频 Central vision for the continued economic prosperity of the region and 海角视频 as a whole.鈥
Arden Cross is part of Solihull鈥檚 海角视频 Central growth plans 鈥 a strategic vision centred around four economic opportunity zones, designed to maximise Solihull鈥檚 role as a powerhouse of the regional economy.

鈥淭he development will attract international interest from world class businesses and has the capacity to deliver over 20,000 jobs, building on the area鈥檚 track record in delivering strong economic growth and contributing to its future success.鈥
