centenary tower

The tallest of two buildings at Edition Birmingham, the 46-storey Centenary Tower is an icon in the making with five whole floors of amenities comparable to that of a five-star hotel. Residents will enjoy a 20-metre swimming pool, wellness suite with spa and ice plunge pool, fitness, yoga and spin studios, climbing wall, dedicated outdoor gym terrace, co-working space, private dining room, golf simulator and shuffleboards as well as a garden terrace over 9,000 sq ft.

Beautiful inside and out, in the heart of the city’s business district and cultural epicentre, Centenary Tower rubs shoulders with the architectural award-winning Birmingham Library (the biggest in Europe), Symphony Hall and the Birmingham Repertory Theatre. Also adjacent to the offices of HSBC, PWC and walking distance to the Colmore Business District, it has unrivalled rental appeal, not to mention its proximity to the celebrated food and drink haunts of Brindley Place, Broad Street and Micheline-starred restaurants, Opheem and Bistrot Pierre.

Centenary Tower lies in the district known as Westside. Once industrial and underutilised it was transformed in the 1990s by regeneration projects that delivered Brindleyplace and the shopping paradise, Mailbox. Today it blends historic warehouses with sleek new developments, of which Centenary Tower leads the pack. A landmark extension of the West Midlands Metro, directly into Centenary Square has transformed the area’s connectivity, delivering Britain’s first fully battery-powered tram line. Today, it’s arguably one of the UK’s most attractive mixed-use urban quarters, on a par with the transformations of King’s Cross London and Manchester’s Salford Quays and MediaCityUK.

Birmingham is enjoying exceptional growth. Investment (and affordability) in the city centre has made it a highly covetable place to live; prices are expected to increase by 27.6% by 2029 (Savills) and it consistently outperforms the UK average. As companies continue to relocate their offices and HQs from London to Birmingham, the demand for rental property is huge. Never before have as many people been moving to the West Midlands, and Centenary Tower will appeal perfectly as a residence to the city’s high earners, offering investors excellent yields and a phenomenal capital appreciation.
