The vacant land close to the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham city centre is to appear in Bond Wolfe’s next auction.
The freehold land at Key Hill in Hockley, which is to be sold on behalf of Birmingham City Council, will have a guide price* of £800,000+ in the livestreamed auction on 26 March.
Gurpreet Bassi, chief executive of Bond Wolfe, explained that the site could be suitable for a variety of uses, subject to planning permission. Mr Bassi said: “This is quite a large chunk of land that extends to around 35,038 sq ft, which equates to more than 0.8 of an acre.
“The site is located just off the roundabout where Icknield Street meets Boulton Middleway, which is part of the Birmingham Ring Road, just off the Hockley Flyover.
“Because this land lies just inside the ring road, it forms part of the city’s Clean Air Zone. The land is close to the Jewellery Quarter and just a few minutes’ walk away from the Jewellery Quarter train station.”
The Jewellery Quarter is home to more than 100 jewellery retailers, diamond and precious metal dealers, and workshops, as well as the Museum of the Jewellery Quarter.
The area boasts numerous Georgian buildings, some of which line the grassy St Paul’s Square, surrounding the 18th century St Paul’s Church.
There are lots of independent stores, trendy bars, and art galleries in the vibrant area, along with lots of diverse restaurants. The land site will be among score of lots appearing in Bond Wolfe’s next auction which is due to start at 8.30am on Thursday 26 March.
The auction will be livestreamed via Bond Wolfe’s website with remote bidding by proxy, telephone or internet.
