Property Week has reported on phase one of City Park Gate. To me it screams a copy Associated Architects’ Severn Trent scheme in Coventry. Front elevation look good, rear facing towards the railway looks plain boring. I’ll let you guys decide.

Currently, the firm’s biggest project in Birmingham is the 1m sq ft City Park Gate, the next phase of the Masshouse regeneration in the £6bn Eastside regeneration zone, which received outline consent in December.
Until last year, the £250m project was a joint venture between Quintain and Countryside Properties.
Their plans were quite advanced, but in September the two split after citing “different aspirations”. Quintain then bought Countryside’s stake and decided to start from scratch.
The existing scheme includes 844 flats, 300,332 sq ft of offices, 99,031 sq ft of retail, and a 150,699 sq ft hotel, but Quintain has now instructed Shuttleworth to go back to his drawing board.
“We took a year off while they sorted themselves out, and now we are looking at a completely new scheme,” says Shuttleworth.
“We aren’t saying that we’re going tear the whole thing up and start again, but it will probably evolve into something fundamentally different.”
Whatever emerges, Shuttleworth is determined that it will not be dull. “When we started, we were very keen to get away from glass boxes,” he says.
