Paradise Circus
The redevelopment of the Paradise Circus site, in the heart of Birmingham, could make a major contribution to the Council's vision for the city. It will create employment opportunities and generate additional business rates, whilst making significant enhancements to the setting of the city’s historic buildings. Major improvements to pedestrian routes, road layout and public space will also result from the redevelopment.
Birmingham City Council and nationally renowned developer Argent own or control a significant part of the land within Paradise Circus. In February 2009 they signed a two year Exclusivity Agreement to prepare the way for the potential redevelopment of Paradise Circus.
An extension to the Exclusivity Agreement was agreed by Birmingham City Council in December 2011 with plans for a land owning Joint Venture to be in place for the end of 2012.
The second phase of Public Consultation on the proposals took place with a Public Exhibition held in February 2012.
These illustrations represent some initial thoughts on what form redevelopment might take. The potential buildings are illustrative of potential scale and do not represent formal proposals.
