Why Digbeth?

Digbeth is the heart of Birmingham’s creative and community-focused landscape and is one of the fastest growing areas of the city.

With a passionate and well-established community across the creative industries in art, music, and creativity, Digbeth attracts residents and visitors, day and night. Its vibrancy and vitality makes the area an exciting place to live, work, and visit.

Digbeth is seeing an increase in residential-led development, alongside revitalised and growing commercial and creative uses, including new TV and film studios that are home to the BBC, MasterChef, and a studio associated with the Peaky Blinders franchise.

This transformation provides a new focal point for the city, employment opportunities for our citizens, and an increasingly liveable urban area.

The completion of HS2 at Curzon Street Station is a major catalyst for growth. Together with the Eastside extension of the Metro, it will provide improved transport links to the wider city region and to London.

Important development schemes in the surrounding area are also drawing billions of pounds of investment and funding, both short-term and long-term, including Smithfield.

The sites in the Digbeth Prospectus are well positioned to contribute to, and benefit from, these changes.
