CORTLAND BROAD STREET, PHASE I @ 'THE SQUARE'.

The Square is a two-phase landmark build-to-rent (BTR) and hotel development on Birmingham’s Broad Street.

Phase 1 has delivered a 6-35-storey containing 440 one- and two-bedroom apartments (1-4 persons) for US BTR giant, Cortland, and their Joint Venture partner, Harrison Street. The building will be known as 'Cortland Broad Street'.

Completing in March 2024, Cortland Broad Street includes more than 12,000K SF of amenities for the optimum rental experience. These include a large, landscaped courtyard with a 200m running track, a gym, a cinema room, co-working & lounge spaces, dining areas, a bouldering wall, a roof terrace, and a tenant's club at the tower's peak.

Phase 2 - wholly dependent on a hotel occupier - will see a standalone 8-storey, 229-bed mid-range hotel brand and, like the BTR element, will provide commercial at ground level and be set around a generous courtyard space.

Electric vehicle parking will be designated for residents, along with secure cycle parking for up to 168. Up to forty new trees will also be planted.
