Thousands of new jobs to be created at Smithfield Birmingham

Work on a planning application for the Smithfield Birmingham scheme is underway and a full public consultation will be held to work collaboratively with the local community as more detailed plans are developed.

The vision for Smithfield Birmingham is to create a sustainable, green and inclusive place that puts people at the heart of the development. It will create a new home for the city’s valued historical Bull Ring markets, provide local jobs, over 3,000 new homes, high quality public spaces, retail and workspaces and a leisure and cultural quarter.

Cllr Ian Ward, Leader of Birmingham City Council, said: “Smithfield Birmingham is a real once in a lifetime opportunity to create a new community in the heart of our city – and we are really excited to be working with Lendlease Europe, who have an internationally proven track record for bringing forward major developments like this.

“This £1.9bn development means jobs, homes and opportunities and Smithfield Birmingham will become a shining example of inclusive economic growth and will create a real legacy in the heart of Birmingham.”

In January 2019, Birmingham City Council announced Lendlease as its preferred development partner for Smithfield Birmingham.

Neil Martin, Lendlease’s Chief Executive Officer in Europe, said: “This is a real landmark moment, and it is testament to the hard work and determination of everyone involved that we are now moving onto the point where we will work with the wider community to bring this development to life. As well as providing some fantastic new homes and vibrant workspaces in Birmingham, we’ll be helping create thousands of new jobs for the city over the future years.”
