Overview
The Development
Priors Gate is a landmark residential address, reimagined within the former Steelhouse Lane Police Headquarters, an imposing Neo-Georgian civic building designed by Herbert Humphries and opened in 1933. Its Portland stone base, rich red brick facade, sash windows and original entrance crowned with Birmingham's coat of arms remain defining features. The building is now being thoughtfully transformed into just 59 boutique one and two bedroom apartments, each shaped by the original structure so that no two homes are the same.
The location is equally compelling. Steelhouse Lane sits within the Snow Hill and Colmore Business District, where global names including HSBC, Deloitte and Deutsche Bank employ around 35,000 professionals, and the wider city supports over 88,000 students across five universities. With HS2 set to cut the journey to London to 49 minutes, share of freehold tenure, no ground rent and forecast rental growth of 18.8%, Priors Gate combines heritage, scarcity and one of the UK's strongest regional rental markets.

- • Conversion of the 1933 Neo-Georgian former Steelhouse Lane Police Headquarters, no two apartments the same
