Ahmed noted, \u201cWe will deliver much-needed student accommodation<\/a><\/strong> to support the vibrancy of our growing universities in Birmingham.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond student residences, the Perryian Works development aims to be an inviting community space. The plans incorporate outdoor courtyards\u00a0that will\u00a0open up public space, featuring a landscaped pedestrian corridor complemented by extensive biodiverse planting and water features. Street-level amenities are also part of the vision, with active frontages that will create interest and\u00a0vibrancy,\u00a0alongside commercial and leisure spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahmed highlighted the collaborative approach\u00a0taken in\u00a0shaping these plans: \u201cWe\u2019ve worked closely with partners to ensure this exciting project delivers true value for the area.\u201d He expressed eagerness to continue working with the city and stakeholders, stating, \u201cWe look forward to continuing our progress with the city and our partners to deliver Perryian Works in the coming years, driving local\u00a0growth,\u00a0and creating hundreds of jobs in the process.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
