Construction completes at The Bank

Cllr John Clancy, as well as representatives from Aprirose, Wates Construction and architects, Glancy Nicholls Associates joined Regal Property Group at the development, located between Broad Street and Brindleyplace.

The 22 storey building stands at nearly 70 metres high, and with the concrete structure complete, the internal fit out is now underway with the apartments on the first floor almost complete.

The first occupations of the building’s 189 studio, one and two bedroom apartments are set to be in July 2018.

Mark Holbeche from Regal, the developer behind The Bank, said:

With the roof now in place, we are one step closer to welcoming new homeowners to The Bank. Later this month, we’ll be opening the doors to our first show apartments at the development, allowing people to have a look around these quality new homes.

“There are currently very few new build developments in the city centre, with the majority of apartment schemes now tending to be office conversions. As such, we’re expecting demand to be high, especially with global businesses such as HSBC opening new offices just a short walk away.

“Standing at nearly 70 metres high, The Bank is set to be an iconic place for people to call home.”

In addition to the apartments, The Bank will feature a high-quality public realm and ground floor retail units, likely to become a restaurant and café for residents to enjoy.

Whilst boasting a contemporary appearance, with a brass clad exterior, The Bank also encompasses a revitalised Grade II listed bank; uniting the area’s heritage with its future.

Moving forward, construction is also underway on the second building at the development which will overtake the first as the tallest residential building in Birmingham city centre, with 31 storeys. This building will be home to a further 205 apartments, as well as additional ground floor retail space.
