Property development company Orion Land has revealed plans for Eagle Point – a new purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) development that will deliver over 260 homes in Birmingham city centre.
The PBSA scheme aims to transform a site on Swallow Street into a high-quality community for students, offering 263 PBSA rooms. These include a mix of 169 cluster rooms, 80 studios and 14 wheelchair-accessible studios.
The developer is now asking the local community for their views on its Eagle Point proposals ahead of submitting plans to Birmingham City Council.
“Not only will this scheme radically transform Swallow Street, but this development will also bring a range of benefits to the whole of Birmingham.
“PBSA will help meet the growing need for student accommodation, as well as helping to free up residential properties outside of the city centre, potentially allowing new families to move into family-sized homes that were formerly HMO properties.
“Local businesses will also benefit from the influx of students moving into this prime city centre location, as these students will support the variety of retailers, restaurants, and leisure activities already available.”

Swallow Street is close by to seven higher education institutions, six of which are within a one-mile radius of the site.
