Caxton Builders awarded Caddick Construction regeneration project
Caxton Builders has been appointed by Caddick Construction to support the delivery of a major residential development in Digbeth, Birmingham’s vibrant cultural district. Cole Waterhouse, Upper Trinity Street, has a value of £2.1 million, marking our first project with Caddick Construction.
The scheme is part of a significant £260m regeneration programme, delivering 211 apartments across three blocks. The project covers over 182,000 sq. ft and includes a mix of one and two-bedroom homes.
Ian Knight, Managing Director, Caxton Builders said, “We’re excited to be working with Caddick Construction for the first time – and even more so on a project that’s helping to shape the future of Birmingham. This is a key step in Caxton Builders’ continued growth, working on substantial residential developments across the region.”
Rising to ten storeys
Due for completion in spring 2027, the development spans three individual blocks, the tallest of which is ten storeys high. The Build to Rent element inaugurates a wider regeneration of the Upper Trinity Street scheme.
Architectural vision
The £260m scheme is designed by Corstorphine & Wright. Architectural firm explains, “The challenge for the Upper Trinity Street transformative redevelopment is to incorporate Digbeth’s thriving creativity and culture and provide a future platform for it to continue seamlessly. In line with the council’s emerging Digbeth masterplan, the Upper Trinity Street scheme aims to create a thriving creative and cultural hub, boost flow to and from the centre, foster community and enhance the public realm.
The lower levels of the development will offer creative, cultural and commercial space, with the residential component located above within a series of taller building elements. Careful consideration over massing, form and materiality help articulate the different areas of this large redevelopment – and also embed it into its setting. Brick colours, windows types and saw-toothed roofs reflect Digbeth’s existing character.”
Creating a thriving cultural hub
Ray O’Sullivan, Regional Managing Director for Caddick Construction Midlands, comments: “Cole Waterhouse has visualised an ambitious and impressive masterplan to create a thriving creative and cultural hub at Upper Trinity Street, and we’re proud to have been appointed to bring this vision to life”.
