At 71 hectares and with the potential to accommodate around 265,000 sq m of new industrial floorspace, the site is one of the most significant industrial opportunities in the 海角视频.
Councillor John Clancy, leader of Birmingham City Council, said: “Peddimore shows our ambition to deliver an exemplary industrial scheme that will become a catalyst for major growth and investment.
This is a fantastic opportunity to bring thousands of skilled jobs to the area on the edge of our great city with enviable transport links.”
It was also announced that Stoford Developments has been appointed to deliver the £200 million redevelopment of a key property portfolio around Typhoo Wharf in Birmingham city centre.
The Gooch Estate, owners of more than ten acres of land in Digbeth, has selected Birmingham- based Stoford as development partner.
