Leading global property consultancy Knight Frank has launched the sale of 70 apartments at Fountain Court, a conversion of historic barristers’ chambers in the heart of Birmingham.
Delivered by Elevate Property Group, Fountain Court is a careful redesign of the original building, with its location giving investors an opportunity to a secure prime property ahead of the launch of the HS2 high-speed rail network. Prices for the properties start from £260,000.
Located just 250m from both the entrance to New Street Station and Colmore Row business district, Fountain Court also sits within easy reach of the forthcoming HS2 Curzon Street station. When operational, HS2 will reduce journey times to London to just 49 minutes, which will reshape Birmingham’s appeal to professionals and create a demand for quality accommodation in prime locations.
Through Elevate’s careful conversion of the building, each apartment at Fountain Court combines period character with contemporary design. The development’s historic provenance as a former barristers’ chambers adds distinctive character that cannot be replicated in modern builds, while its central location gives residents the opportunity of being within the heart of Birmingham’s business and cultural life.
Liam Smith, partner at Knight Frank and head of regional residential investments said: “Despite the recent reduction in mortgage rates, affordability pressures continue to drive professionals toward the rental market, creating a strong demand for tenants and providing investors with the necessary base for buy-to-let opportunities.
“For those looking to position themselves ahead of HS2’s impact on the city, Fountain Court represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a premium property in Birmingham’s most connected location before the full benefits of the high-speed rail connectivity are realized.”
