Crosby Lend Lease claim their new city-living development near Snow Hill station ticks a number of green boxes…

  • Cuts out the daily commute to the city centre
  • Built on a brownfield site, saving greenbelt
  • Excellent public transport links: very close to Snow Hill station (bus and Metro) and city centre buses
  • Its City Car Club hopes to rid Birmingham of ten private cars for each car in the car pool. The system gives buyers access to a car without all the hassle and costs associated with ongoing maintenance, fuel and insurance.
  • Fresh food markets on the doorstep cuts down on food miles
  • The design maximises natural light
  • Switching off the showhome lights in all of its five city centre developments saves an estimated 1042 Kilowatts electricity per quarter.

    • Prices start from £99,950 for a flat at “Hub” situated, near Summer Row and Colmore Row in the Gun Quarter.

    For more information, visit Crosby Central on Navigation Street (between The Mailbox and New Street Train Station), or call 0121 643 7944.
