Glasswater Locks stands as a new gateway between Birmingham's bustling Eastside and the city's vibrant Learning Quarter. This remarkable development offers contemporary canal-side apartments and duplexes, just moments away from the city center and high-speed rail connections.

The vision is to create a thriving community with an array of on-site amenities, providing an enticing alternative to the city's hustle and bustle. The elegant landscaping rejuvenates the canal-side area, bridging the city's rich industrial heritage with its promising future.


Experience Modern Living:

Glasswater Locks blends convenience and connectivity with comfortable, modern living alongside a tranquil waterway. Boasting 155 meters of canal-side frontage, it offers a serene environment.

Residents will enjoy an array of amenities, including a 24-hour concierge, residents' business lounge, games room, cinema, and planned cafés, bars, and restaurants. It's also a short walk from the upcoming high-speed rail station and Birmingham's city center with its dining, shopping, and cultural attractions.


A Historical Gem:

Glasswater Locks resides alongside the Digbeth Branch Canal, a site of historical significance. Archaeological excavations unveiled remnants of a Boulton & Watt steam engine and kilns from the Belmont Glassworks, active on the site since 1803.
Glassmaking was a major industry in Birmingham in the 1800s, and glassworks were strategically located along waterways. With the arrival of railways in the mid-1800s, a rail terminal was established at nearby Curzon Street, setting the stage for Birmingham's bright, connected future.


Revitalized Canal-side Living:

Glasswater Locks introduces outdoor seating areas and new walkways along the canal towpath, making it an accessible and vibrant destination for the community.
The development prioritizes creating a pedestrianized, car-free environment and enhancing public spaces around Glasswater Locks, focusing on well-being and environmental quality.


A Vibrant New Neighborhood:

The area will host cafés, bars, and restaurants offering alfresco dining options. Public art, interactive water features, and space for outdoor events will create a carefully landscaped and diverse neighborhood catering to everyone.
Residents can relish tranquil views over the canal from elevated, resident-only courtyard gardens.


Explore Birmingham's Rich Heritage:

Birmingham, a dynamic city with a youthful population, has a rich industrial heritage. It has evolved into a city known for its high-speed rail links, prestigious universities, and upcoming Commonwealth Games.
The city's diverse culture is evident in its Victorian-era arcades, Michelin-starred restaurants, and thriving markets, preserving its rich heritage while embracing progress.


A City of Transformation:

Birmingham's industrial revolution roots have led to its remarkable growth and transformation. From a metalworking town, it became one of Britain's most significant cities, home to the renowned Jewellery Quarter and prestigious universities.
The city continues to evolve under the City Council's Big City Plan, focusing on regeneration in key areas, including Eastside, where Glasswater Locks proudly stands.
