Detail has submitted a planning application to extend Transport House on Victoria Street, West Bromwich and deliver 45 new homes as part of a previously consented scheme.
The landmark building was acquired by HCT Homes in January after being placed on the market in 2019, and Detail is acting as Development Manager.
Although plans have already been approved for the refurbishment of the vacant building to create 37 new homes. The proposed extension will deliver an additional eight homes across two further storeys in a mix of one and two-bedroom apartments.
Located on Victoria Street, the former office building is close to the town centre and a short walk to the Metro line, bus station, and other key amenities. Work to refurbish and redevelop the building is expected to complete in 2022, should planning permission be granted.
Sundip Shihn, Director at HCT Homes, said: “We have always had a strong vision for the potential of Transport House, given its location close to key amenities and transport links. The building has been underutilised for too long and we are excited to now submit plans to maximise its potential. We look forward to working with all our partners to bring this scheme to life.”
Sunny Johal, Director at Detail, said: “Transport House represents an exciting opportunity to bring a vacant building back into productive use. Our proposals will deliver a modern residential development with new homes for local people, contributing to the growing vibrancy of West Bromwich.”
Raj Lal, Managing Director at Detail, said: “At Detail, we use our local expertise, as well as our wealth of real estate experience, to create high quality homes which add value and are genuinely sustainable. Delivering this type of quality is a real passion for us”
Detail is one of the region’s fastest growing property businesses and has led the development of Metro Lofts in West Bromwich. This is due to complete in the coming months.
