Aptly called the Big City Plan, it is a vision to promote and facilitate continuing transformation into a world-class city centre. The Eastside and Southside are undergoing the most significant amount of regeneration. Digbeth Characterised by street art and red-brick housing, Digbeth has been dubbed Birmingham’s Shoreditch. Its convenient location is a huge draw for trendy creatives and savvy business-men alike. Just 10 minutes on foot from the city centre, the neighbourhood is estimated to explode in popularity as transport routes improve efficiency. The Custard Factory is Digbeth’s real estate focal point. A refurbished factory that houses 101 creative industries bound by art galleries, cafes and dance studios. Soon, however, the canal regeneration scheme Eastside Locks will command the most attention. A £450 million investment aimed to create mixed-use floor space on 13-acres of prime Digbeth real estate.
