At the time of construction, the scheme development is anticipated to create 600 jobs, and up to 313 additional jobs once built. It is set to deliver £229.5m gross value added to the local economy.

Birmingham City Council leader Ian Ward said: “As we build homes and create opportunities for a young and growing population, UTS has an important role to play in the city’s ongoing renaissance, given its proximity to HS2 and being within the expanded City Core.”
