Port Loop is a 43-acre, canal-side site in Birmingham, just 15 mins from the city centre offering 1,150 new homes, retail and leisure spaces.

The island of Icknield Port Loop was at the epicentre of the industrial revolution. And now a different sort of revolution is transforming it once again. Introducing Port Loop: a new 43-acre neighbourhood, including over 1000 homes, a community hub, commercial office spaces, a new leisure centre and a swimming pool.

There’s also a sense of freedom and play built into the fabric of the neighbourhood’s urban island design, with traffic-free green streets, communal gardens, public parks and playgrounds. This is a place to relax, get outdoors, get to know your neighbours and let children run free.

Port Loop is nestled between Birmingham Canal Old Line and the Birmingham Canal, just a 15-minute walk from Birmingham city centre. Its island location was once the industrial heart of the city, so the tow paths that served it provide superb, direct routes to the city centre. You can go by foot or jump on a bike. You could even take the water bus.

With tranquil Edgbaston Reservoir 5 minutes to the north and buzzing Brindleyplace just 15 minutes away to the south, it really is brilliantly connected.

As part of our Port Loop masterplan, we’ll be redeveloping a 100,000 sq. ft. industrial space to create Tubeworks. Plans are under discussion for this social, community and cultural hub, It could include a coffee shop, co-working space, a parcel delivery hub, a bike repair shop, rehearsal spaces, workshops, kitchens, markets, a crèche, a bakery or a micro-brewery. Whatever the final range of services, Tubeworks will be the vibrant heart of life on the island.
