Chord (St Paul's Square) Ltd has released the three penthouses
at its St Paul's Place scheme in Birmingham's Jewellery
Quarter.
The trio of penthouses were added to the roof of the former
Thomas Walker buckle-making factory, creating a contemporary
extension to the former red brick façade.
Each boasts floor-to-ceiling windows and a roof terrace which
runs the length of each apartment. All apartments overlook the
city's only Georgian Square, offering views of the churchyard and
the city skyline.
Prices start at £275,000 for the 644 sq ft and
£500,000 for the 1,232 sq ft two-bed apartments. The scheme's
biggest property, at 1,500 sq ft, boasts three en-suite bedrooms
and is on offer for £675,000.
Contemporary fit-outs include Porcelanosa fitted bathrooms and
kitchens by Mereway, with integral fridge/freezers, washing
machines and dishwashers. There is a choice of carpet and wood
laminate.
Chord's St Paul's Place is the largest residential development
to be launched in Birmingham for more than a year.
The £35m building comprises 148 apartments. In addition to
the three penthouses, there are a range of studio, one and two bed
apartments, with prices from £129,500.
The scheme wraps around two internal courtyards, one of which is
a communal garden designed by award-winning landscape artist Alan
Gardner. A footbridge across this outdoor oasis connects the lobby
area with the residents' underground car park, which has spaces for
160 cars.
In addition to the courtyard, the development boasts an
impressive communal lobby where visitors will be greeted by a
24-hour concierge. The entrance is styled along the lines of a
boutique hotel and provides lift access to all floors .
The penthouses are being marketed through sole agents
Savills.
Lisa Hunt, head of the residential sales team at the estate
agents' Birmingham office, said: "The 1,500sq ft penthouse combines
the best address with the best view in Birmingham. You can
literally lie in bed and look out at the spire of St Paul's church,
while from the roof top terrace you can take in the city skyline.
We already have pent-up demand for these penthouses, and we
anticipate selling them very quickly."
