A renaissance in Broad Street continues after a new image of the scheme on the Regal Tower site was unveiled.

The computer-generated image obtained by the Post shows two towering buildings – an Innside hotel and an apartment block – on land off Broad Street.

The scheme will stand on the plot where Birmingham’s tallest building – the £125 million Regal Tower – was previously planned before it was scrapped during the recession.

The latest scheme, called Left Bank and put forward by Regal Property Group, has been scaled down with a 22-storey apartment block and a 18-storey hotel.

It comes on a big week for Broad Street after the Post unveiled new plans for Two Arena Central and some redevelopment at Alpha Tower.

The Regal scheme will be built on the site of a car park on land between Sheepcote Street and Oozells Way and involve the part demolition of the Grade II listed building at 78-79 Broad Street which currently houses the ‘Big Bite’ takeaway.

The plot was once home to a Jewish synagogue from the 1960s until it was relocated in 2008 and Regal Property Group has been eyeing the site for redevelopment for more than a decade.

A spokesperson for the scheme said: “The elegant and functional Innside by Meliá hotels are perfectly adapted to the needs of modern city visitors, offering a combination of business lifestyle, cutting-edge design and personalised, simple and efficient service.

“The Innside Birmingham hotel will also feature flexible meeting and event space with innovative technology, a restaurant and a lobby bar which is the energy centre of Innside by Meliá hotels and the place where everything happens.”
