Detailed planning consent has been granted for two state-of-the-art units – measuring 42,890 sq ft and 51,010 sq ft – that are located on a six-acre plot fronting Solihull Parkway, close to the M42 and M6.

Kenny Allan, Head of Industrial at KWB, said: “Birmingham Business Park is the most established out-of-town business park in the Midlands. With immediate access to the motorway network, proximity to Birmingham Airport and HS2 connectivity on the horizon, Diamond occupies a highly prominent position, offering unrivalled logistics and accessibility.

“The units have been designed to the highest standards, so we expect they will appeal to a wide range of occupiers, from high-end manufacturing through to companies seeking headquarters-style facilities.”

Construction is now underway, with Diamond representing the first new development at Birmingham Business Park since the completion of the Granite scheme in 2020. Practical completion is scheduled for December 2026.

Diamond has been designed to meet industry-leading sustainability standards, targeting EPC-A and BREEAM Excellent. Environmental features will include PV solar panels, EV charging infrastructure, rainwater harvesting and air source heat pumps.

The units will offer modern, high-specification industrial, warehouse and R&D space in Solihull, including up to 47-metre yard depths, 10-metre clear internal heights, 50kN/m² floor loading and a 500kVA power supply.
