AN INTERESTING INVESTING OPPORTUNITY...
Birmingham has one of the fastest growing populations and economies in the UK. With a GVA growth rate of 22.4% over the last 5 years the West Midlands combined authority has one of the fastest growing economies of any combined authority in the country. In addition to this Birmingham’s population has risen by nearly 10% over the last decade. Leveraging from the success of Birmingham is Sandwell of which Transport Works is located. With 327,378 residents, Sandwell has the third largest population in the West Midlands Combined Authority area and is the 34th biggest local authority in Great Britain. It is predicted to grow faster than the West Midlands and the national average. The area brings with it an exciting investment forecast, including the new Midland Metropolitan University Hospital, the new Sandwell Aquatics Centre which will host the swimming and diving events for the 2022 Commonwealth Games, the extension to the Midland Metro line, HS2, many planned new homes, being part of the 5G testbed and bidding for major funding for three of our towns through the Stronger Towns Fund.
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION...
The property occupies a prominent position on Victoria Street, which leads directly off the main West Bromwich High Street. All town centre amenities, including the New Square retail and leisure development are within close proximity. Transport Works is within the town centre’s regeneration area, which has undergone extensive development over recent years. Transport Works is well served by its connectivity to major motorways (M5 & M6), the west coast main line and Midland Metro. The town shares a contiguous border with Birmingham, with a direct 15 minute commute to the City Centre via Midland Metro train network. The economic linkages with the growing city are significant, as the introduction of HS2 will also put West Bromwich an hour away from London and Manchester, opening a host of opportunities. The area is a strong commuter base for Birmingham and other areas of the region.
