Limited availability: the final release at Emerald Court features just 11 beautifully designed one and two-bedroom apartments in Digbeth, completing in Q2 2026.
In this collection, every detail has been considered to attract modern renters while providing investors with a low-maintenance, high-demand property in Birmingham’s most lively and authentic quarter.
Digbeth has become one of Birmingham’s most dynamic neighbourhoods, blending industrial heritage with bold regeneration and a thriving creative culture. Today, Digbeth is both a lifestyle destination and a compelling investment choice.
This rare combination of culture, lifestyle, and infrastructure positions Digbeth as one of the most promising property investment locations.
Digbeth sits at the heart of one of Birmingham’s most ambitious regeneration projects. The Smithfield Masterplan, described as a “once in a generation opportunity,” is revitalising the district while celebrating its industrial heritage and creative identity, from historic factories to modern studios.
With £1.9 billion invested, the plan will create 16,000 new jobs and 3,000 homes, attracting major employers such as BBC Studios and Huel. By combining commercial, residential, and cultural investment, Digbeth is becoming a vibrant hub for business, culture, and modern city living, offering opportunities for both work and play.
As one of the West Midlands’ fastest growing regions, Digbeth combines rapid development with unparalleled connectivity across the UK. The upcoming HS2 Curzon Street line and planned metro extension will drive demand, offering faster connections, new business opportunities, and enhanced accessibility.
In addition to high speed rail, Digbeth benefits from excellent road links via the A38, A45, and M6, providing seamless access across the city and wider region. Local transport options such as buses, tram expansions, and cycling routes make commuting and city travel straightforward and efficient.
This combination of national, regional, and local connections makes Digbeth one of Birmingham’s most strategically accessible districts, attracting both investment and residents who value connectivity.
Digbeth’s public spaces are being reimagined as vibrant destinations where people want to live, work, and explore.
A new Market Square will honor Birmingham’s history as a market city, providing a central gathering place for community events and everyday life. Nearby, a festival square will celebrate Digbeth’s Creative Quarter, hosting art, music, and cultural events that bring the district to life.
A tree-lined pedestrian boulevard will link these spaces, creating a green, welcoming heart where residents, workers, and visitors can stroll, meet, and enjoy the city.
The Rea Valley Urban Quarter will add 1,300 homes, new commercial space, and a revitalised River Rea, returning nature to the heart of the district while improving biodiversity, public spaces, and community infrastructure.
Together, these projects are shaping Digbeth into a dynamic, forward-looking quarter that respects its heritage, nurtures creativity, and draws attention from across the UK and beyond.
The Court Collection has been carefully designed to appeal to modern renters, making it easy for investors to let quickly and consistently.
With these features, the apartments are highly desirable, easy to rent, and well-positioned for strong rental returns, giving investors confidence in long-term demand and low void periods.
