Calthorpe Estates is one of the UK’s most forward thinking and progressive property investment and development companies. Family owned since 1717, our prime focus is the prestigious 640-hectare estate in Edgbaston.
We are committed to sustainably developing the Estate and driving forward a multi-million pound regeneration portfolio, including retail, leisure, residential, office and medical developments, to enhance the appeal of one of Birmingham’s most desirable areas to live and work.
Residents in Edgbaston collectively spend on average £4.1 million a week.
The Sunday Times - 101 Best Places to live in Britain (March 2013)Working closely with Birmingham City Council, we have produced a planning framework that outlines the vision and strategy to create an exciting new urban village within a defined area between Hagley Road and Calthorpe Road.
As the whole of Edgbaston Village lies within a conservation area, redevelopments have been sympathetically designed to sit alongside period properties, which have been converted to accommodate modern working practices and changes of uses. With the framework already in place, potential occupiers can move into the area confident that their requirements can be easily accommodated.
Heritage and Planning
Heritage plays a big part in Calthorpe Estates’ history but we understand that new developments are needed in an ever-changing world. We aim to maintain a delicate balance between the best of the old and the continuing need for modern facilities.
There are a number of statutory listed and locally listed buildings within the area and the rich building stock is complemented by good landscaping, reflecting our commitment to providing a high quality environment.
Edgbaston Village is a great example of how we can integrate new developments into an already established and thriving business community.
Public realm areas will be situated in various locations around Edgbaston Village, providing open spaces for people to relax and soak up the lively atmosphere. We will ensure that public spaces and new developments befit the area and blend with our heritage.
The Planning Framework is an informal planning document that is agreed in principle with Birmingham City Council. The document ensures that any discussions with potential occupiers remain realistic, rather than being subject to restrictive planning regulations, making the development process much quicker.
