Lendlease is serving as the management contractor for the Perry Barr residential scheme.

Kier, Willmott Dixon and Vinci UK are working alongside the company to deliver the project.

The plot contractors also continue to work to ensure the development proceeds safely during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The scheme features a combination of one and two-bed apartments and three and four-bed houses, an ‘extra care’-type facility for the older community, significant public space areas and private courtyards and amenity spaces.

Birmingham City Council leader Ian Ward said: “Despite the recent challenges presented by Covid-19, the team working on this project have continued to demonstrate the highest levels of commitment and professionalism at all times.”
