Lockside Wharf has a rich history intertwined with the industrial revolution that swept through Birmingham in the 1800s. It’s position on the bank of the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal was vital to its success as a manufacturing site, as well as the access it had with the growing Jewellery Quarter to the north-east.
Birmingham remains the largest city in the UK outside of London. With a population of around 1.15 million in the city and 4.3 million in the Greater Birmingham area, the number of residents in the city continues to grow at a rapid pace.
The city also has one of the youngest populations in the country, with under-25s accounting for nearly 40% of its total residents. It's this demographic that supports the city’s incredibly competitive rental market - driven by new students, graduates and young professionals moving for work.
With the city’s total population expected to hit 1.24 million by 2030, Birmingham’s expected to need a further 2,500 homes a year to meet the incredible forecasted demand.
