Spitfire Homes acquires site in Birmingham for ‘premium’ development

Spitfire Homes has completed the acquisition of a 1.6-acre site formerly occupied by West Midlands Police in Harborne.

Having recently completed the nearby Beaufort collection in Edgbaston, Spitfire intends to transform the new Rose Road site into a scheme of new townhouses and apartments with premium and contemporary interior specifications.

Spitfire plans to deliver future-proofed properties that meet the demands of modern life, each featuring a number of sustainable features.

In addition to Harborne, Spitfire has recently acquired a 12-acre site in Coventry to deliver over 180 homes, reinforcing its commitment to delivering much-needed new housing across the Midlands.

Matt Vincent, operations director at Spitfire Homes, said: “Building on the success of nearby Beaufort, Rose Road enables Spitfire to deliver more premium properties in one of the city’s most sought-after addresses. Following the strong demand we experienced with Beaufort, which is located just half a mile away on Norfolk Road, Edgbaston, it’s clear that buyers are looking for high-quality homes in statement addresses, and the acquisition of Rose Road allows us to deliver exactly that.”

“We are confident this will be another standout addition to our Bespoke Collection portfolio and look forward to collaborating with relevant stakeholders throughout the planning process to deliver the best possible outcome for the community.”

Harborne offers a vibrant community, excellent schools and easy access to Birmingham city centre. The new collection will offer residences tailored to a variety of lifestyles, from young professionals working in the city to downsizers looking for a low-maintenance home.

Joe Williams, director at Avison Young, who marketed the site alongside Ogle Property, said: “When Avison Young was presented with the opportunity to market Rose Road, we anticipated significant interest from several parties. Harborne continues to be a highly sought-after location, thanks to the attractive mix of amenities and ever-growing lifestyle options.”

Alfred Bartlett from Ogle Property, added: “Spitfire Homes are highly regarded for their expertise in delivering high-quality residences across the Midlands, and the addition of Rose Road to their portfolio certainly feels like an ideal match. We look forward to watching the development progress and the creation of a statement new address.”
