Birmingham’s Beorma Quarter to ‘bridge the gap between hustle and bustle’

A major new development is underway in Birmingham following a decade of investment planning, refinement and construction.

The Beorma Quarter will offer luxury stores, boutique stores and 125,000 sq. ft of office space in the heart of Digbeth.

The new development is said to bridge the gap between the city centre’s hustle and bustle and the creativity of Digbeth.

Beorma Quarter draws heavily on Birmingham’s heritage with the name itself referencing Beorma, the Anglo-Saxon founder of the original settlement.

Stuart Thomas, former head of the BBC described Digbeth as “one of the most up and coming districts in the country”.

The BBC’s arrival in 2024 has become the catalyst for growth building on an already established commercial base that includes destinations such as the Custard Factory.

Transport links including Birmingham New Street, Birmingham coach station and the extensive bus and tram networks, will be further enhanced by HS2 with Curzon Street Station located near the Beorma Quarter.

Callum Gilbert, senior surveyor at Cushman & Wakefield, who are marketing the area, said: “Digbeth is already the cultural and creative hub for the West Midlands.

“However, the BBC’s impending arrival has rapidly advanced the standards the area is holding itself to.

“This is attracting a wider talent pool from across the country, which will only expand further thanks to HS2, as well as the significant Smithfield residential development.”
