Kier begin £52m Birmingham development

Affordable homes specialist Kier Partnership go ahead with a £52m development at Egghill in Birmingham.

It builds on the successful first phase of development at the site, ‘Balaam Wood’, where Kier is currently delivering 58 new homes.

A third phase will include 122 houses and flats for Birmingham Municipal Housing Trust (BMHT) and a further 278, two, three and four-bedroom homes for outright sale.

Kier managing director, Chris King, said: “We are delighted to have been chosen by BMHT to continue our association with them on the latest phase of development planned for Egghill.

“We intend to build on the excellent service and value for money that our properties within the first phase of development at Tessall Lane represent.”

The Balaam Wood development is a showcase of design, space standards and energy efficiency, and now forms and part of the overall regeneration in the Egghill area.

The development at Egghill is BMHT’s first to offer new family homes for both private sale and social rent side by side, providing the mixed tenure environment that is widely known to give greater prospects for sustainable regeneration in the long term.
