Calthorpe Estate: 301 Years Old, So Time For A Rethink

The Calthorpe Estate has appointed Broadway Malyan to develop a new vision for the 1,536 acre central Birmingham portfolio controlled by the Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe family since 1717.

The estate, which includes most of Edgbaston along with over 3M SF of commercial floorspace including the redeveloped Pebble Mill site and the £300M New Garden Square scheme, will see more commercial use around Five Ways under the new long-term vision.
