Build Progress: Hockley Mills residential, commercial and retail space

Sir Robert McAlpine was appointed as contractor for the Hockley Mills development and started construction on a 37-month programme in January 2021. Over the course of the programme, they will deliver 395 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, alongside a new entrance to the Jewellery Quarter train station, 116 car parking spaces and 28,000 sq ft of flexible commercial space for retail, leisure and offices.

Caxton Builders were contracted to deliver 750k bricks over a 60-week period and as it stands today the first crane was removed last week with the second coming down next weekend and we are on track to complete within time and budget.

Mark Bessey, Regional Manager at Sir Robert McAlpine, said: “In an iconic location, and with excellent train and tram connectivity, Hockley Mills is one of Birmingham’s most attractive new residential and commercial schemes. Significantly, our project design reflects the site’s rich industrial heritage. We’re proud to have secured the contract to develop this superb site and look forward to adding it to our successful track record of creating landmark city buildings built for contemporary life.”
